We know by now how to go to places and how to be at places, but what we can't say is what we do at those places...

Going to a place requires the ending -에/ (e) at the place.

극장에 가요. Keugjang-e kayo. I go to the theater.

극장 (keugjang) is a theater or a cinema (movie theater) though there is a second more specific word for the cinema which is 영화관 yeonghwagwan. And 영화/yeonghwa is the movie.

To be at a place requires the ending -에/ (e) at the place + 있어요 (isseoyo) - to be

극장에 있어요. (Keugjang-e isseoyo) - I am at the cinema.

Now to do something at a place needs a different ending : 에서 (eseo)

극장에서 영화를 봐요. Keugjang-eseo yeonghwa-reul pwayo. - I watch a movie at the cinema.

Let's look at the three sentences together.

극장에 가요.

극장에 있어요.

극장에서 영화를 봐요.

Not bad, isn't it. Feels like we learned something :D
