제1과: 한국 대학교에서 공부하기 위해서 한국말을 배워요

-기 위해서

A grammar used to describe purpose or reason. -기 turns any verb into a noun. Noun + (을/를) + 위해서 is also a common construction.

이라서

Used as noun + 이라서. Shortened form of (이)라고 하다 + 아/어서, it conveys the same meaning as 이어서.

제2과: 한국 노래를 들으면서 숙제를 해요

-으면 -을수록

This means “the more …, the more …” and the first part of the grammatical structure (-으면) is often dropped.

-으면서

Usually used to convey the meaning of “while”: the idea of doing two things concurrently.

제3과: 주말에는 문을 안 열걸요

-거든요

An ending that can be used to express reason or provide additional context to the current discussion.

-을걸요

제4과: 시내 은행에 비해서 할인을 많이 해 주는군요

에 비해서

제5과: 주말 내내 비가 온다고 해요

-는다고 하다/-냐고 하다

Indirect speech form for plain sentence and questions.

제6과: 이모가 이 버스를 타보라고 하셨어요

-어지다

Passive form that means “to become” and is similar to -게 되다/하다.

-으라고 하다/ -자고 하다

제7과: 민박은 안 되는 줄 알았어요

-는 줄 알다
