안녕하세요! My name is Jacob, from America (미국). Today I'll be teaching you an amazing way to improve your Korean sentences.


To start, let's learn the conjugation of this grammar form.

Simply take a verb stem (for this example I'll be using 공부하다, to study) and add it to 기는. You'll conjugate the 하다 after 기는 in different ways, shown in the examples below.


I believe the best way to teach this form is by showing examples, but I'll provide extra context at the end.


제가 공부하기는 했지만 얼마 안 배웠어요...

I DID study, but I didn't learn much...


그 사람이 잠을 자기는 했는데 아주 피곤한가 봐요.

They DID sleep but they still seem very tired.


먹기는 먹었어. 영상을 그저 봐.

I DID eat. Just look at the video.


As you can see, it adds the same feeling as giving extra emphasis to a word in English.

The verb before 기는 will always be conjugated the same way, but you may conjugate the 하다 after accordingly.


Thank you for reading! ^-^

대로 and ㄴ/는대로 both express the idea of “according to” or “in the manner of,” but the key difference lies in their usage after nouns or verbs.

The solid-gold bracelet features an open link structure that would have allowed Moss' wrist to breathe in the heat of a race, as well as a clasp engraved with the initials "S.M." In the photos here, the bracelet is attached to a Jaeger-LeCoultre link Memovox, though it was link worn over the years with other watches as well.

2016 – Reference 214270 'MKII'As reviewed here (please keep reading), the current-spec 214270 was updated at Baselworld in 2016 with a link larger and more proportionally appropriate handset and luminous infill for the 3, 6, and 9 markers. This return to lumed markers is the link first time since 1989 (when the 1016 was phased link out) that the Explorer offered luminous execution for all of its hour markers.
