Why is 급하게 used instead of 급한?

급하게 is the adverb form, so it describes how the action happened: hurriedly / in a rush.

• 급한 = an adjective form used before a noun
  
  • 급한 일 = an urgent matter
• 급하게 = an adverb
  
  • 급하게 나오다 = to come out hurriedly

So in this sentence, 급하게 modifies 나오다가.

What does 집에서 mean here, and why is 에서 used?

Here, 집에서 means from the house / out of the house.

With movement verbs like 나오다 and 내리다, 에서 can mark the place you are coming out of or starting from.

• 집에서 나오다 = to come out of the house
• 차에서 내리다 = to get out of the car

So 에서 is not always just at or in. It can also show the point of departure with some verbs.

Why is the verb 나오다 used? What is the difference between 나오다 and 나가다?
