Dialogue

Lesson Transcript

Do you know how to describe past events with context in Korean?
Welcome to Three Step Korean Practice by KoreanClass101.com. In this lesson, you will practice how to describe past events with context.
Let’s look at the main dialogue.
Two people are having a conversation.
밤에 연등 행렬이 있었는데, 정말 아름다웠어요. (Bame yeondeung haengryeori isseonneunde, jeongmal areumdawosseoyo.)
There was a lantern parade at night, and it was truly beautiful.
와! 사진 찍었어요? (Wa! Sajin jjigeosseoyo?)
Wow! Did you take photos?
We see the ending -었는데 here. In Korean, -았/었는데 connects a past action or situation with extra information.
Sometimes it sets the background, sometimes it contrasts, sometimes it shows an unexpected result.
Let’s practice with this grammar more in this lesson.
