    Whats the difference between 서울까지 가요 and 서울에 가요?
    Thank you 🙂

    • Shanay Richards,

      From my understanding the first puts emphasis on the fact that you’re going to Seoul from somewhere else, like I’m going to Seoul from London, the second is like saying you’re going to the gym, it’s somewhere you are headed. that’s how I see it

  15. Jeannette Plummer,

    내일은 저는 일해요

    I’m having trouble with the particles in Lesson 9. Could someone help, please? The explanation for the sentence above says the following:

    Here, 내일 [nae-il], tomorrow, is followed by 은 [eun], is a topic, but not the subject of the
    verb 일하다 [il-ha-da], “to work” because it is not “tomorrow” that works but “I” that work.

    If ‘I’ is the subject in this sentence why is it followed by a topic particle and not a subject particle?

    Thank you!

    • Shanay Richards,

      my understanding is that ‘I’ is both topic/subject in this instance. Tomorrow is when the action will happen so it’s given the emphasis of 은 [eun], ‘I’ will be doing the action so I am the topic as well as the subject (action doer).

    • Gabie,

      I agree with this. Today had the topic marker 은 because the speaker was trying to say ‘As of today’. 저 also had the topic marker because the speaker was talking about himself/herself and not generally eveyone
