Lesson 78 (Intermediate 2 Lesson 5)
June 5, 2021•762 words
We started the lesson diving straight into the last two grammar points for this chapter. Then, we reviewed the Quizlet sentence deck (in full this time), before looking at the video script. Finally, we finished up with the textbook. We got all the way to the Speaking and Listening page (p. 147), but only did the first (preparation) section without the listening yet.
This is the last lesson of the term, which is also the last lesson for my friend.
Grammar
4. V-(으)면 되다
This is used to explain a rule or a situation.
The words for this one are all familiar. The V-(으)면 means “if”.
The 되다 we have seen in V-아야/어야/해야 되다, which carries the meaning of “can”.
In some contexts, this can be used as a suggestion (e.g. 약을 벅으면 돼요 to suggest to a sick person to take their medication), but this is a much lighter suggestion than V-아야/어야/해야 되다.
Examples:
- 가: 내일 아침에 일찍 와야 돼요? 나: 아니요, 9시까지 오면 돼요.
- 가: 외국인등록증도 필요해요? 나: 아니요, 여권만 있으면 돼요.
- 가: 한국 친구를 만들고 싶은데 어떻게 하면 좋을까요? 나: 한국어를 배우면 돼요.
5. V-(으)ㄴ 것 같다
This is used to express the speaker’s presumption about past events.
Back in Chapter 4, we saw V-는 것 같다.
This is simply the past tense version, evident from V-(으)ㄴ. (Yes, there is also a future tense version, and it is V-(으)ㄹ 것 같다, since the future tense noun modifier is V-(으)ㄹ. The teacher said we will learn this next time.)
- 비가 오는 것 같아요. = I think it‘s raining (now).
- 비가 온 것 같아요. = I think it rained (earlier).
Examples:
- 엔디 씨는 벌써 점심을 먹은 것 같아요.
- 유진 씨는 늦게까지 논 것 같아요. (놀다)
- 배가 아파요. 아까 먹은 짐심에 문제가 있었던 것 같아요.
- For 있다/없다, there is no such thing as 있은/없은 (X). Instead, you have 있었던/없었던.
- For the present tense, it’s 있던/없던.
- For 있다/없다, there is no such thing as 있은/없은 (X). Instead, you have 있었던/없었던.
Video Script
Only two dialogues this time around. Both from the same source, the one with the real humans acting and not the cartoon. The second had no blanks.
We just did 1 round of reading through both scripts with a partner after listening it together.
