Questions & Answers about badasgareul ttara georeoyo.

In the phrase 바닷가를 따라 걸어요, what does 따라 mean, and how is it formed?

따라 here comes from the verb 따르다 (to follow), in its adverbial form (stem + -아/어). Together with the object marker 를, 바닷가를 따라 literally means “following the beach,” but idiomatically “along the beach.”

What role does 를 play in 바닷가를 따라?

를 is the object marker in Korean. In the pattern N을/를 따라, it marks the thing you "follow" or go "along." Without 를, you'd lose the direct connection between 따라 and 바닷가.

Can I use 따라서 instead of 따라? What's the difference between 바닷가를 따라 and 바닷가를 따라서?

Both are correct and mean essentially the same (“along the beach”). 따라서 is a bit more formal or written style, while 따라 is more common in everyday speech.

Why is the verb 걷다 used as 걸어요 here, not 걷어요?

걷다 is a ㄷ-irregular verb. When a vowel (like ㅓ in -어요) follows, the ㄷ changes to ㄹ, so you get 걸어요 instead of .
