Questions & Answers about jeoneun naeil samusire jeomsimeul gajyeool geoyeyo.

What does 저는 mean in this sentence and why is the particle -는 used?

저 means “I” (the humble form). The particle -는 is the topic marker, so 저는 literally means “as for me.” It sets “I” as the topic about whom you’re talking.

Why is 내일 placed before 사무실에?

In Korean word order, time expressions (like 내일, “tomorrow”) typically come first, followed by place expressions (like 사무실에, “to the office”). So you get 내일 사무실에 for “tomorrow to the office.”

What does the particle -에 do in 사무실에? Why not -에서?

-에 marks the destination or target of a movement. Since you’re bringing lunch to the office, you’re moving something toward that location, so 사무실에 is correct. -에서 would mark the starting point (“from the office”), which isn’t what this sentence means.

Why is 점심을 followed by -을?

점심 (“lunch”) is the direct object of the verb 가져오다 (“to bring”). The object particle -을 attaches to nouns ending in a consonant, so 점심 + -을 = 점심을.

What is the structure and meaning of 가져올 거예요?

This is the future tense form of 가져오다:

1. Drop 다 → 가져오 (stem)
2. Add future suffix -ㄹ → 가져올
3. Add polite ending 거예요 → 가져올 거예요, meaning “(I) will bring.”

Why use 가져오다 instead of 가져가다?

Both mean “to bring,” but 오다 means “to come,” 가다 means “to go.” You use 가져오다 when the action comes toward the speaker’s location or perspective. In this case, you’re bringing lunch to where you (the speaker) will be, so 가져올 거예요 is natural.

Why is the polite ending 거예요 used instead of simply 거야?

거예요 is the polite form appropriate for most everyday conversations, especially with coworkers or acquaintances. 거야 is more casual and used with close friends or younger people.
