Lesson 18 |
자동차는 어디서 빌릴 수 있습니까?
In this lesson we observe Eric discussing his health problems with his Korean teacher, and we watch Chris Murphy go through the procedure of renting a car at the hotel on Cheju Island. This lesson introduces some more new patterns built on the infinitive in -어 ~ -아, including the pattern for have to~ought to in -어 ~ -아야 돼요 and that for even though in -어 ~ -아도. These patterns are useful for expressing obligation and for asking and giving permission. The lesson also introduces another infinitive-based pattern, that in -어 + 지- for get/become . . . Finally, the lesson introduces can do and cannot do in -(으)ᄅ 수 있어요/없어요, the somewhat bookish conjunction (and) in -(으)며 and NOUN (을) 통해(서) through (the agency of) NOUN.
