Questions & Answers about haengsa jeone jawonbongsajareul deo mojiphaeyo.

Why is 전에 used here, and what does it attach to?

전에 means before. It attaches to the noun 행사 (event), so 행사 전에 means before the event.

A very common pattern is:

• noun + 전에 = before noun
• verb stem + 기 전에 = before doing verb

So here, because 행사 is a noun, you use 행사 전에.

Why is there a particle -를 on 자원봉사자?

The -를 particle marks the direct object of the verb. In this sentence, the thing being recruited is 자원봉사자 (volunteers), so it becomes 자원봉사자를.

Breakdown:

• 자원봉사자 = volunteer
• 자원봉사자를 = volunteers (as the object)

Because 모집하다 means to recruit, it needs something to recruit, and that object is marked with -을/를.

Why is it 자원봉사자를 and not a plural form? Does Korean not mark plurals here?
