direct objects
direct objects are shown by the marker 를. They precede the verb as is the case half of the time in English. You know, a direct object is the thing directly acted on by the verb. For example, ball in kick the ball. Ball in korean is 공 and kick is 차다 so using the object marker 를 we get the sentence 공을 차다 to mean kick the ball.
한국어를 가르쳐요. I teach Korean.
저도 영어를 조금 해요. I, too, speak a bit of English.
일본말을 공부하세요? Do you study Japanese?
무엇을 가르치세요? What do you teach?
수미는 무엇을 공부해요? What does Sumi study?
It is often the case that this particle is omitted in casual speech,
particularly in commonly used constructions:
한국어 가르쳐요. I teach Korean.
저도 영어 조금 해요. I, too, speak a bit of English.
일본말 공부하세요? Do you study Japanese?
indirect objects
에게 means to
transitive and intransitive verbs
transitive verbs take an object, intransitive verbs do not.
E.g. #1 끝내다 vs. 끝나다
겨울방학( ) 끝났습니다. : The winter break ended. (answer: 이, intransitive)
피터가 방학 숙제( ) 끝냈습니다. : Peter finished the assignment for the break. (answer: 를, transitive)
E.g. #2 to begin -- 시작하다/ 시작되다
한국어 수업을 시작합니다. : We will begin Korean class.
한국어 수업이 시작됩니다. : Korean class will ________.
an intransitive verb and a transative verb correlate well to passive/active verbs.
