Which type of sentence pattern would you like to learn to construct?
Korean Pattern | English Examples |
---|---|
Subject-predicate-descriptive verb* | Joe is a doctor. This is a pencil. |
Subject-object-action verb | I see the cat. Mr. Kim buys a book. |
Subject-predicate-"existence" verb | There is a school [in Seoul]. There isn’t a book [on the table]. Mr. Kim has a chair. I don’t have a key. (Yes, these all really fit the same pattern in Korean!) |
*Note: A descriptive verb is similar to what we call a linking verb in English.
