Questions & Answers about jeonyeoge gongwoneseo joginghaeyo.

What does the particle 에 in 저녁에 indicate?

The particle 에 after 저녁 marks a point in time. So 저녁에 literally means “in the evening” or “at evening.”

Why is 에서 used after 공원 and what does it mean?

The particle 에서 indicates the location where an action takes place. Thus 공원에서 means “at the park” or “in the park” as the setting of the jogging.

Why is there no subject written in the sentence?

Korean often omits the subject when it’s clear from context. In this sentence, the speaker (“I”) or the listener (“you”) is understood without explicitly saying 저 or 당신.

Why do we say 조깅해요 without an object marker on 조깅?

조깅하다 is a compound verb (jogging + do). The noun part 조깅 combines directly with 하다 to form the verb, so you don’t add 을/를. The whole verb 조깅해요 already means “jog.”

What word order rule explains why it’s 저녁에 공원에서 조깅해요 instead of a different order?

Korean generally orders adverbials as: time → place → manner/object → verb. So you place 저녁에 (time) first, then 공원에서 (place), and finish with the verb 조깅해요.

Could this sentence express an ongoing action, like “I am jogging in the park this evening”?

Yes. To emphasize that you’re doing it right now, use the progressive form -고 있어요:
저녁에 공원에서 조깅하고 있어요.
This means “I’m jogging in the park this evening (at this moment).”

Why is 해요 used at the end, and are there other speech levels?

-해요 is the polite present tense ending (해요체). You can switch speech levels:
• Formal polite: 조깅합니다
• Casual/informal: 조깅해
Each ending adjusts the level of politeness or formality.

Can you use a native Korean verb instead of the loanword 조깅?

Absolutely. Instead of 조깅해요, you can say 뛰어요 (to run). So:
저녁에 공원에서 뛰어요.
This shifts the nuance from “jogging” to more general “running.”
