When to drop markers?

[Gudrun]

Even after over a year of studying Korean, I still get confused about when to use topic markers versus subject markers. And also when to use/not use object markers. My teacher said sometimes it just sounds more natural to omit the markers, but since I'm a foreigner, I can't tell what sounds more natural. Could somebody please explain this a little more to me and kindly give me some examples? I would really appreciate it.

Let me five you a little example here.
Your friend asks you "what did you do last night?"
and you say " I read a book"
어젯밤 뭐 했어? / 책을 읽었어.
but "책 읽었어" is more natural.

영화를 볼 거예요.--->영화 볼 거예요.
신발을 샀어. ----> 신발 샀어.

I think it's only for the conversation and informal situations.
영화 볼 것입니다. sounds strange a little.
영화를 볼 것입니다. is better.

신발 샀습니다. --->신발을 샀습니다.

I just realized this. Thanks to you!!
Omitting the object markers may be in the natural converation.

what do you think?

'ConverSation' luv, conversation haha!

I would agree with that, however, when writing a dialog between characters it seems best to write according to the 말투 they use.

Julia, thanks so much for your reply!

Please, could you give me examples of when to use a topic marker versus a subject marker. And when it would be better to not use a topic or subject marker?

Thanks.
