What do the particles 부터 and 까지 indicate in 화요일부터 금요일까지 and 오전 9시부터 오후 3시까지?
부터 means from, and 까지 means until or up to. They mark the beginning and end of a range. In this sentence there are two ranges: days of the week and hours of the day.
Why do we specify 오전 9시 and 오후 3시 rather than just 9시부터 3시까지?
Korean typically uses a 12-hour clock, so 오전 (morning) and 오후 (afternoon) clarify whether it’s before or after noon.
What does 그 건물에서 mean, and why is the particle 에서 used here?
그 건물에서 means at that building. The particle 에서 marks where the action (working) takes place.
