In this lesson, we will learn a couple different forms used to say “make someone” or “force someone” and even “let someone” do something. In Korean, they actually don’t differentiate between letting someone do something and forcing someone to do something.

Quoting lesson part 3. This time, we’ll learn to quote commands in Korean. Commands include the forms: 으세요, 지 마세요, and 아/어 주세요. There are 4 different forms to be aware of. (으)라고, 지 말라고, 아/어 달라고, and 아/어 주라고. Practice is also included.

겠 has 2 main usages. The first being a simple future tense one. In comparison with 것이다 ending, 겠 is focused more personally on intention.

The grammar 자마자 means “as soon as” or “right after.” It is used when one action happens immediately after another action finishes.

In this lesson, we will look at 2 grammar structures that are sometimes translated the same as, "look like". I'll start by summarizing each concept individually and then comparing them.

In this lesson, we have 3 different grammar forms that mean “only”. Let’s figure out what the difference is and when we use each one of them. Before we even get started, I want to add a note about vocabulary words that also means “only”. 오직, 유일한, 하나의, etc. These are entirely different from what we’ll be looking at today and can not replace these forms. 9 times out of 10, when you are wanting to use “only”, one of these 3 grammar forms is gonna be the MOST natural and a
