Grammar Notes
1. (Time, Date)에
The particle 에 is used to mark specific times and dates when talking
about when something happens. It’s equivalent to "on" or
"at" in English. For example:
- 월요일에 만나요. (Let’s meet on Monday.)
- 생일에 파티해요. (We have a party on my birthday.)
2. -이/가 아니에요
This grammar structure is used
to say something "is not" in Korean. 이/가 is the subject marker, and 아니에요 means "is not." For example:
- 오늘이 월요일이 아니에요. (Today is not Monday.)
- 저는 학생이 아니에요. (I’m not a student.)
