Korean: F–10 Sequence / Levels 7 and 8 / Understanding / Systems of language
Content description
Understand and use grammatical forms and structures such as suffixes for tense, honorifics and polite style marking, and auxiliary verbs and particles, using appropriate metalanguage to identify or explain forms, structures and parts of speech
Elaborations
  1. extending the use of case markers and particles to express the genitive case (소라의 생일이에요), a time frame (아침부터 저녁까지 서핑했어요), the instrumental case (색연필로 그림을 그려요) and the directional case (왼쪽으로 가세요), and to use a nominal connective –와/과 (불고기와 김치를 먹어요)
  2. learning how to modify a noun by using an adjectival form of the premodifying descriptive verb suffixed by –(으)ㄴ, for example, 좋은 생각, 착한 사람
  3. expressing future plans using –(으)ㄹ 거예요, for example, 한국에 갈 거예요
  4. expressing intention or conjecture using –겠–, for example, 파티에 참석하겠어요, 비가 오겠어요
  5. asking for or offering suggestions using –(으)ㄹ까요?, for example, 무엇을 살까요? 이 책을 읽을까요?
  6. connecting clauses using conjunctive suffixes (clausal connectives) such as –어/아서, –지만, –(으)면 to express events or ideas in different relationships
  7. identifying time references expressed by forms and structures of verbs such as –었/았– and –(으)ㄹ 거예요 and learning how to use them in two-clause sentences, for example, 김치가맛있었지만 조금 짰어요; 학교에 가서 공부할 거예요
  8. using basic complex-verb structures such as –어/아 주다, –고 있다, –(으)ㄹ 줄 알다, –(으)ㄹ수 있다 and –어/아 보다 as set phrases in their –어/아요 form to express complex ideas, for example, 보여 주세요, 자고 있어요, 할 줄 알아요, 먹을 수 있어요, 읽어 보세요
  9. learning how to construct noun phrases out of verbs using a suffix –기 and using it with case markers or particles, for example, 한국어를 배우기가 쉬워요
  10. extending the use of polite language to honorific particles and humble/honorific words, for example, 할머니께 선물을 드렸어요; 할아버지, 진지 드세요
  11. understanding and developing metalanguage for parts of speech relating to grammatical functions such as naming (학교, 연필), referring to people or objects (나/저, 이것/저것/그것), qualifying things (예쁜 꽃) and expressing actions, states or qualities (먹어요, 좋아요)
  12. comparing how the case of a noun or pronoun is identified in Korean and English sentences, for example, 저는 사과를 먹어요 versus ‘I eat apples’
