Questions & Answers about choegeun sajineul banggeum mesijiro bonaesseo.

What does the particle -을 in 사진을 do, and can I drop it?

• -을/를 marks the direct object of the verb. 사진 ends in a consonant, so it takes -을.
• In casual speech, Koreans often omit it: 사진(을) 보냈어. Both are fine in everyday talk.
• Keep the particle in writing or when you need to avoid ambiguity.

What does 메시지로 mean, and why is -로 used?

• -로/으로 marks means/method: “by/through/with.” So 메시지로 = “by message.”
• Form rule: after a vowel or after consonant ㄹ, use -로; after other consonants, use -으로. Examples: 메시지로, 버스로, 펜으로, 칼로.
• Don’t use 메시지에 for “by message” (that would be “to/at a message,” which is odd here).
• To mark the recipient, use -한테/에게/께: 너한테 메시지로 보냈어.

How does 방금 compare to 지금, 아까, and 금방?

• 방금: “just now,” immediate past; pairs naturally with past tense: 방금 보냈어.
• 지금: “now/this moment”; for present or near future: 지금 보낼게.
• 아까: “earlier (today),” not necessarily immediate.
• 금방: can mean “in a moment/soon” or “just now” depending on context/region; because it’s ambiguous, 방금 is clearer for immediate past.

Can I rearrange the words, or is the current order fixed?
