Questions & Answers about ganhosaga je pare bungdaereul gama jwosseoyo.

Why is it 간호사가 and not 간호사는?

-가 marks 간호사 as the subject of the verb.

• 간호사가 제 팔에 붕대를 감아 줬어요.
  • The nurse wrapped a bandage on my arm.

Using -가 is very natural here because the sentence is simply identifying who did the action.

If you used 간호사는, it would sound more like you are setting up the nurse as a topic, often with a contrastive feeling, like:

• 간호사는 제 팔에 붕대를 감아 줬어요.
  • As for the nurse, she wrapped my arm with a bandage.

That version is possible, but in isolation 간호사가 is the more straightforward choice.

Why is it 제 팔 and not 내 팔?

제 is the humble/polite form of 내 and means my.

Because the sentence ends in the polite style -어요, using 제 matches that level of politeness well:

• 제 팔 = my arm, in polite speech
• 내 팔 = my arm, in casual/plain speech

So:

• 간호사가 제 팔에 붕대를 감아 줬어요. is polite and natural.
• 간호사가 내 팔에 붕대를 감아 줬어. would be the casual equivalent.

Why is there 에 after 팔 in 제 팔에?
