Answers and explanations

Show answers and explanations

Practice questions

1. Choose the plan form of 가다.

Answer: 갈 거예요.

Add ㄹ to the vowel-ending stem 가.

  • 가을 거예요. — Do not add a separate 을 after 가.
  • 갔어요. — This is past tense.

2. Choose the plan form of 먹다.

Answer: 먹을 거예요.

Use 을 거예요 after 먹.

  • 먹갈 거예요. — 먹갈 is not this pattern.
  • 먹었어요. — This describes a completed past action.

3. The plan is to meet a friend on Wednesday. Choose the sentence.

Answer: 수요일에 친구를 만날 거예요.

Keep Wednesday and the future meeting.

  • 금요일에 친구를 만날 거예요. — The weekday changed.
  • 수요일에 친구를 만났어요. — This changes it to the past.

4. What does 영화를 보고 싶어요 establish?

Answer: A wish to watch a film

A wish alone does not establish action or a booking.

  • A completed reservation — There is no booking information.
  • A film watched yesterday — It is not a past event.

Learning check

1. Which asks about next week’s plans?

Answer: 다음 주에 뭐 할 거예요?

Use 뭐 할 거예요 for a future plan.

  • 어제 몇 시예요? — This does not ask about next week.
  • 다음 주에 뭐 했어요? — Next week does not fit the past tense here.

2. Which spacing is correct?

Answer: 공부할 거예요.

Keep 공부할 together and separate 거예요.

  • 공부할거예요. — Separate 거예요.
  • 공부 할거예요. — Do not split 공부할.

3. Monday: study at the library. Wednesday: meet a friend. What is Monday’s sentence?

Answer: 월요일에 도서관에서 공부할 거예요.

Read the day and activity from the same entry.

  • 월요일에 친구를 만날 거예요. — This uses Wednesday’s activity.
  • 수요일에 도서관에서 공부했어요. — Both the day and tense changed.

4. Choose the plan form of 살다.

Answer: 살 거예요.

An ㄹ-ending stem does not take an extra ㄹ.

  • 사을 거예요. — This is not how 살 changes.
  • 살을 거예요. — Do not add 을.

5. No plan is supplied yet. Which question fits?

Answer: 뭐 할 거예요?

Ask to establish the unknown plan.

  • 공부할 거예요. — This invents an unconfirmed plan.
  • 김밥을 먹었어요. — A past action does not establish the plan.

6. What is not established by 토요일에 김밥을 먹을 거예요?

Answer: The meal is already finished

This states a plan, not completion.

  • The planned food is gimbap — Gimbap is stated.
  • The planned day is Saturday — Saturday is stated.
