Questions & Answers about ganhosaga che-oneul dasi hwaginhago hwanja-ege mureul masirago haesseoyo.

Why is it 간호사가 and not 간호사는?

간호사가 uses the subject marker -가, which simply marks the nurse as the subject of the sentence.

• 간호사가 = the nurse (as the subject)
• 간호사는 would add more of a topic/contrast feeling, like as for the nurse...

In this sentence, -가 is a natural neutral choice because it is just introducing who did the actions:

• checked the temperature
• told the patient to drink water

So 간호사가 sounds like straightforward narration.

What does 체온을 mean exactly?

체온 means body temperature.

So:

• 체온 = body temperature
• 체온을 = body temperature + object marker -을

The object marker -을 shows that body temperature is what was being checked.

A quick breakdown:

• 체온을 확인하다 = to check someone’s body temperature

This is a very common medical expression.

What does 다시 확인하고 mean, and what is -고 doing here?
