Articles & Determiners

Using a, an, the, this, that, these, those

소개

관사와 한정사는 작지만 엄청 중요한 단어예요. 명사 앞에 놓여서 구체적인 것인지 일반적인 것인지, 단수인지 복수인지, 가까운지 먼지를 알려줘요.

한국어에는 관사가 없기 때문에 "a", "an", "the"의 구분은 한국 학습자들에게 가장 어려운 부분 중 하나예요. 규칙이 제멋대로처럼 보이지만, 연습하면 직감적으로 고를 수 있게 돼요. 지시사(this, that, these, those)는 한국어의 "이", "그", "저"와 비슷해서 이해하기 더 쉬울 거예요.

규칙도 있고 예외도 많지만, 기본 패턴만 잡으면 두렵지 않아요. 이 챕터에서 관사 감각을 잡아봅시다.
