Original message and participants
Original for the time correction
Mina checks the original staff message.
| Who / when | Original words or recorded facts |
|---|---|
| Staff original | “모임은 오후 세 시예요.” |
| Jun’s version | “모임은 오후 두 시예요.” |
No venue change is stated.
Learn the expressions
If the original says three p.m. but the report says two, correct it with 오후 두 시라고 한 게 아니라 세 시라고 했어요. Here 게 is short for 것이. Do not invent a different venue when only the time is wrong.
| Original expression | Reported expression |
|---|---|
| 잘못된 시각: 두 시 / 원문: 세 시 | 두 시라고 한 게 아니라 세 시라고 했어요. |
| 잘못된 인물: 미나 / 원문: 준 | 미나가 온다고 한 게 아니라 준이 온다고 했어요. |
| 잘못된 행동: 펜 / 원문: 공책 | 펜을 가져오라고 한 게 아니라 공책을 가져오라고 했어요. |
| 원문: “준이 참석해요?” | 준이 참석한다고 한 게 아니라 참석하냐고 물었어요. |
Interpret “tomorrow” from the original speaking date. “Tomorrow” said on October 20 refers to October 21. Copying it on October 21 can suggest the 22nd. Use the explicit date or identify the original date when quoting.

Practice questions
1. Original: three. Report: two. Which correction fits?
Answer: 두 시라고 한 게 아니라 세 시라고 했어요.
Replace the wrong value with the original.
- 네 시가 더 좋을 것 같아요. — A new suggestion is not a correction.
- 세 시라고 한 게 아니라 두 시라고 했어요. — The correction goes the wrong way.
2. What is 게 short for here?
Answer: 것이
It shortens 한 것이 아니라.
- 에게 — It is not the recipient particle.
- 그래서 — It is not a causal connector.
3. Original asks whether Jun will attend, but the report states he will. Correct it.
Answer: 참석한다고 한 게 아니라 참석하냐고 물었어요.
Keep the question as a question.
- 참석하냐고 한 게 아니라 참석한다고 했어요. — That reverses the original.
- 준이 이미 참석했어요. — Completed attendance is not in the record.
4. The original gives no staff name. What should you do?
Answer: Attribute it to the staff member
Use the source detail actually known.
- Change the source to the teacher — There is no basis to change the speaker.
- Invent the name Minsu — The name is unverified.
Learning check
1. What date does “tomorrow” spoken on Oct 20 refer to?
Answer: 10월 21일
It is the day after the original date: the 21st.
- 10월 22일 — That utterance does not refer to the 22nd.
- 전달하는 날 다음 날로 항상 바뀜 — Reporting later does not change the original event date.

Answer: 직원이 10월 21일 오후 네 시에 모인다고 했어요.
It states the original intended date.
- 직원이 내일인 10월 22일에 모인다고 했어요. — It shifts the date by one day.
- 직원이 날짜를 바꿨다고 했어요. — There was no change notice.
3. Original: Jun prepares. Wrong report: Mina prepares. Correct it.
Answer: 미나가 준비한다고 한 게 아니라 준이 준비한다고 했어요.

- 준이 준비한다고 한 게 아니라 미나가 준비한다고 했어요. — The correction is reversed.
4. Staff said to bring a notebook. What is wrong with reporting 가져왔다고?
Answer: An instruction became completed fact
Whether the action happened has changed.
- The object name changed — The item is still a notebook.
- No error because the source is kept — Preserve message type as well as source.
5. The fee question is unanswered. What is accurate?
Answer: 참가비는 아직 확인하지 않았어요.
Keep the uncertainty.
- 참가비는 무료라고 했어요. — Free was not stated.
- 참가비는 만 원이라고 했어요. — Do not invent an amount.
6. What is an appropriate basis for correcting a relay?
Answer: The speaking date and original message
Correct changes against the original.
- A plausible guess despite no answer — A guessed correction can create another error.
- The messenger’s preferred time — Preference is not the original notice.
