Questions & Answers about ojeone setakgireul sayonghaeseo ppallaereul haesseoyo.

Why do we add -에 to 오전?

In Korean, to indicate when something happens, you attach the time particle -에. So 오전 (“morning/AM”) + -에 = 오전에 (“in the morning/AM”).

What’s the difference between 오전 and 아침?

• 아침 refers to the early part of the day (breakfast time until around 10 AM) and is more conversational.
• 오전 is a formal time designation from midnight to noon, often used with clock times (e.g. 오전 9시).

Why is there -를 after 세탁기?

-를/을 marks the direct object of a verb. Here, 세탁기 (“washing machine”) is what you’re using, so it takes -를: 세탁기를.

What does 사용해서 mean, and why not just 사용했어요?

사용해서 = 사용하다 (“to use”) + connector -아/어서, meaning “using” or “by using.” It links to the main action 빨래를 했어요 (“did the laundry”) to express the means. If you said only 사용했어요, it would mean “used it” without explaining what you did afterward.

Can we say 세탁기를 써서 빨래를 했어요 instead?
