Questions & Answers about oneul byeongwoneseo geomsareul batgo jibeseo swieoyo.

What does -고 in 받고 mean here?

-고 is a connector meaning and, and then, or after doing in a simple sequence.

So:

• 검사를 받고 = get/have a medical test and then...
• 집에서 쉬어요 = rest at home

In this sentence, 받고 links the first action to the second one:

• 오늘 병원에서 검사를 받고 집에서 쉬어요.
• Today, I get/have a medical test at the hospital and rest at home.

It usually sounds like the actions happen in that order: first the test, then resting.

Why is it 받고, not 받아요?

Because only the final verb in the sentence is fully conjugated for politeness and tense.

Here:

• 받다 → 받고 when it connects to another verb
• 쉬다 → 쉬어요 as the final verb

So Korean often works like this:

• A-고 B-어요
• do A and do B

If you said 검사를 받아요 집에서 쉬어요, it would sound like two separate sentences or be unnatural without a clear connector.
