We’ll be taking about the future tense today. Let’s look at the first sentence:<\/p>\n
\uacf5\ubd80\ud560 \uac81\ub2c8\ub2e4<\/strong> = I will study.<\/p>\n The construction ~\uc744<\/strong>\/\ub97c<\/strong> \uac81\ub2c8\ub2e4<\/strong> is what makes this future tense.<\/p>\n \uc9c0\uae08 \uba39\uc744 \uac81\ub2c8\ub2e4<\/strong> = I will eat now.<\/p>\n This is the same construction as before, but slightly different. Here \uc744 \uac81\ub2c8\ub2e4<\/strong> was used. When the \ub2e4<\/strong> in \uba39\ub2e4 <\/strong>(to eat) is dropped, \uba39<\/strong> ends in a consonant. Therefore, when the stem ends in a consonant, \uc744 \uac81\ub2c8\ub2e4<\/strong> is used. Conversely, when the \ub2e4<\/strong> is dropped in \ud558\ub2e4<\/strong> (to do) \ud558 <\/strong>is the stem, which ends in a vowel. Therefore, \ud560 \uac81\ub2c8\ub2e4<\/strong> is used.<\/p>\n Now let’s look at this sentence:<\/p>\n \uacf5\ubd80 \uc548 \ud560 \uac81\ub2c8\ub2e4<\/strong> = I will not study.<\/p>\n \uc9c0\uae08 \uc548 \uba39\uc744\u00a0\uac81\ub2c8\ub2e4<\/strong> = I will not eat now.<\/p>\n Both of these sentences has the construction ~\uc548 \ub97c\/\uc744 \uac81\ub2c8\ub2e4<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Now compare this with these sentences:<\/p>\n \uacf5\ubd80 \ud558\uc9c0 \uc54a\uc744 \uac81\ub2c8\ub2e4<\/strong> = I will not\u00a0study.<\/p>\n \uc9c0\uae08 \uba39\uc9c0 \uc54a\uc744 \uac81\ub2c8\ub2e4<\/strong> = I will not\u00a0eat.<\/p>\n But of these sentences have the ~\uc9c0 \uc54a\uc744 \uac81\ub2c8\ub2e4<\/strong> construction. The difference between ~\uc9c0 \uc54a\uc744 \uac81\ub2c8\ub2e4<\/strong> and ~\uc548 \ub97c\/\uc744 \uac81\ub2c8\ub2e4<\/strong> is that ~\uc548 \ub97c\/\uc744 \uac81\ub2c8\ub2e4<\/strong> is more colloquial and used in spoken speech, while ~\uc9c0 \uc548\uc744 \uac81\ub2c8\ub2e4<\/strong> is more formal and used in written speech. Both ~\uc9c0 \uc54a\uc744 \uac81\ub2c8\ub2e4<\/strong> and ~\uc548 \ub97c\/\uc744 \uac81\ub2c8\ub2e4<\/strong> are both formal, but ~\uc9c0 \uc54a\uc744 \uac81\ub2c8\ub2e4<\/strong> is slightly more formal.<\/p>\n Here’s also another tip, \uc548<\/strong> and \uc54a<\/strong> are pronounced the same way. \uc54a\ub2e4<\/strong> is actually a contracted form of \uc548 \ud558\ub2e4<\/strong>. Think of it as this way:<\/p>\n \ube68\ub798\ud558\uc9c0\u00a0\uc54a\uc744 \uac81\ub2c8\ub2e4<\/strong> = I will not do the laundry.<\/p>\n \ube68\ub798\u00a0\uc548 \ud560 \uac81\ub2c8\ub2e4<\/strong> = I will not do the laundry.<\/p>\n Both sentences mean the same thing, but notice that the second sentence has the contracted form. In the second sentence, the \u314e<\/strong> in \ud560<\/strong> has moved to the bottom\u00a0of \uc54a\uc744<\/strong> of the first sentence.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" We’ll be taking about the future tense today.
