Questions & Answers about 2wore daehakgyo kaempeoseureul bangmunhaeyo.
What does 2월에 mean and what’s the role of -에 here?
2월 means “February.” The particle -에 marks a specific point in time (“in/at”). Together, 2월에 means “in February.”
Can we omit -에 when talking about months like February?
No. For specific time expressions such as months, days, and years, you must use -에. Omitting it would be ungrammatical. (Exception: words like 오늘, 어제, 내일 do not take -에.)
Why is there no subject like “I” or “we” in this sentence?
In Korean, subjects (e.g. 저는, 우리는) are often dropped when they’re clear from context. Here, the speaker (“I” or “we”) is simply implied. If you want to specify, you could say 저는 2월에 대학교 캠퍼스를 방문해요.
Why is it 대학교 캠퍼스 instead of 대학교의 캠퍼스?
Korean frequently forms noun–noun compounds to show possession or association. 대학교 캠퍼스 literally “university campus.” While 대학교의 캠퍼스 is correct, dropping 의 is more natural in everyday speech.
What is the purpose of -를 in 캠퍼스를?
-를 is the object marker, indicating that 대학교 캠퍼스 is the direct object of the verb 방문해요 (“visit”). Without -를, listeners wouldn’t know what you’re visiting.
Why use 방문하다 instead of 가다 to say “visit”?
가다 just means “to go,” focusing on movement. 방문하다 means “to visit,” emphasizing the act of paying a visit. So 방문해요 is more specific: you’re visiting the campus, not just going there.
Why is the verb in the -해요 form, and how would it change in other speech levels?
-해요 is the polite informal ending. Other styles:
• Formal polite: 방문합니다
• Plain (casual): 방문해
Choose the ending based on formality and your relationship with the listener.
How can I turn this into a question like “Do you visit the university campus in February?”
You can simply use rising intonation or add a question ending:
• 2월에 대학교 캠퍼스를 방문해요? (rising intonation)
• 2월에 대학교 캠퍼스를 방문하나요? (polite/formal -나요 ending)
How do I express this sentence in the past or future tense?
• Past tense: change -해요 → -했어요
2월에 대학교 캠퍼스를 방문했어요. (“I visited the campus in February.”)
• Future tense: use -을/ㄹ 거예요
2월에 대학교 캠퍼스를 방문할 거예요. (“I will visit the campus in February.”)
