Questions & Answers about jibe waseo sangcheoreul dasi bogo sodokhaesseo.

Why is it 집에 and not 집을 or 집으로?

집에 uses the location/destination particle 에, which often marks the place someone goes to.

So 집에 오다 means to come home / come to the house.

A few comparisons:

• 집에 오다 = come home
• 집으로 오다 = come toward home / come home
  
  • 으로 can also mark direction, but 집에 오다 is the most common natural expression.
• 집을 오다 is incorrect here because 을/를 marks a direct object, and 집 is not the object of 오다.

So in this sentence, 집에 와서 simply means coming home and then...

What exactly does 와서 mean here?

와서 is the connective form of 오다 (to come).

It is made like this:

• 오다 → 와서

In this sentence, 와서 connects the action coming home to the next action.

So:

• 집에 와서 = came home and then... / after coming home...

It often gives a sense of natural sequence:

1. came home
2. looked at the wound again
3. disinfected it

Here, -아서/어서 is not really about cause; it is just linking actions in order.

Why is the tense only at the end with 소독했어? Why not mark every verb as past?
