What nuance does -아/어 놓다 add when combined with 붙이다 in 붙여 놓았어요?

The construction 붙여 놓았어요 (from 붙이다 + 놓다) not only states that you attached something but also highlights that you left it in that resulting state. In English it’s like saying “I put it up (and it’s still there).” Simply saying 붙였어요 would focus only on the action of attaching, whereas 붙여 놓았어요 emphasizes both the completion and the ongoing placement.

How is 붙여 놓았어요 formed grammatically from the dictionary verb 붙이다?

1. Take 붙이다 and drop -다 → stem 붙이-
2. Conjugate for polite present → 붙이 + 어요 → 붙여요 (ㅣ-vowel contraction)
3. Add the auxiliary verb 놓다 to get 붙여 놓다, which means “attach and leave.”
4. Conjugate 놓다 into past polite → 놓 + 았어요 → 놓았어요
   Putting it all together gives 붙여 놓았어요.

Why is the particle 에 used with 벽 instead of 에서?

• 에 marks the target location where something ends up or exists (“on the wall”).
• 에서 marks where the action takes place (“at the wall”).
  Since we’re focusing on the picture’s placement (where it goes rather than where you did the taping), 벽에 is most natural.

Why is 사진 marked with the object particle 을?
