Questions & Answers about jega gareuchin munjangeul gieokhae boseyo.

In 제가 가르친 문장을 기억해 보세요, what does 제가 mean and why is it used instead of 저는?

제가 is 저 (I) + subject marker 가, marking “I” as the agent in the relative clause 제가 가르친. We use 가 here because 가르친 needs an agent marker; 저는 would mark topic, not the subject of the modifying verb.

How is the verb 가르치다 changed into 가르친, and what function does it serve here?

가르친 is the past attributive form of 가르치다, formed by dropping 다 and adding ㄴ. It means “(that) taught” and modifies 문장, so 가르친 문장 = “the sentence (that I) taught.”

Why is 가르친 placed before 문장 rather than after, as in English?

In Korean, modifiers (including relative clauses) always precede the noun they describe. So 가르친 문장 literally is “taught sentence,” whereas English says “sentence that (I) taught.”

What role does 을/를 play in 문장을?

을/를 is the object-marking particle. 문장을 indicates that 문장 is the direct object of 기억해 보세요 (“try to remember”).

What does 기억해 보세요 mean, and how does -아/어 보다 work?
