Questions & Answers about geosil byeoge sajineul georeoyo.
How is the sentence 거실 벽에 사진을 걸어요 broken down word by word?
• 거실 = “living room”
• 벽에 = “on the wall” (벽 “wall” + location particle 에)
• 사진을 = “picture” + object marker 을
• 걸어요 = “hang” in the polite present tense (from 걸다)
What role does the particle 에 play in 벽에?
The particle 에 marks a static location or target. Here, it tells us where you hang something: “on/at the wall.”
Why is 사진을 used instead of 사진은?
을 is the direct-object marker, showing that 사진 is what’s being acted upon by the verb 걸어요.
If you used 은/는, you’d be marking 사진 as a topic, which changes the nuance to something like “As for the picture, …” rather than “I hang the picture.”
What does 걸어요 mean, and how do you form it from 걸다?
The dictionary form 걸다 means “to hang.” To make the polite present tense:
- Drop 다 → 걸
- Add 어요 → 걸어요
So 걸어요 = “(I/you/we) hang.”
