This example of Korean sentence structure is for a simple Korean sentence structure.
At this time we are ready to make a slightly more complicated sentence by adding prepositions and objects at the same time to a sentence.
Sentence order (III) is simply a subject, a location phrase or the objects (direct/indirect, of the verb of course) and the main verb.
To follow this lesson you will have to know the following:
에: to as in to the store
을: the preceding word is a direct object and ends in a consonant
를: the preceding word is a direct object and ends in a vowel
This image shows the basic structure of a Korean sentence, with object and prepositional phrase placement.
| N: subject
ADVP: adverb
NP-DAT: indirect object
NP-OBJ: object
V: verb
|
For example, tirst let's look at word order for an English sentence.
He is digging in the garden
He is making bread in the kitchen.
You will need to understand these definitions :
PREPOSITIONAL PHRASE: in the box, out of the house, inside the room
The order of an english sentence is SUBJECT + VERB + OBJECT / PREPOSITIONAL PHRASE. For example, He is digging vegetables in the garden
SUBJECT: He
VERB: is digging
DIRECT OBJECT: vegetables
PREPOSITIONAL PHRASE: in the garden
He is making bread in the kitchen
The order of a Korean sentence is SUBJECT + OBJECT / PREPOSITIONAL PHRASE + VERB. It may also be OBJECT / PREPOSITIONAL PHRASE + VERB. So, following the examples above,
1. 그는 채소밭에서 채소를 파고 있다
2. 그는 부엌에서 빵을 굽고 있어요
1) 그는 (He + topical marker) |+ 채소 ( egetables) + 밭 (garden) ) + 에서 ( in the ) + 채소를 (vegetables + direct object marker --> vegetables is the direct object of the sentence) + 파고 있다 (present progressive of 파다 a verb which means dig.
#2 is similar:
2) 그는 (He + topical marker) |+ 부엌 (kitchen) ) + 에서 ( in the ) + 빵을 (bread from le pain, french + direct object marker --> bread is the direct object of the sentence) + 굽고 있다 (present progressive of 굽다 a verb which means bake.
So, these translate to the English sentences "He in the garden vegetables is digging" and "he in the kitchen bread is making".
