Lesson 27: In this lesson, you will add to what you learned in Lesson 26 by learning more about the ~는 것 principle. Specifically, you will learn about how to use ~던/었던 to describe nouns in the past tense using verbs and adjectives. You will also see how these can be similar to ~은 것.
Lesson 28: In this lesson, you will learn a lot of weird things about ~는 것 that don’t really make sense. Here, you will learn thing that are counter-intuitive, but still very important to know about this principle. For example, you will learn about irregular conjugations, saying “my favorite thing” and other small things that you wouldn’t expect.
Lesson 29: In this lesson, you will learn how to use ~기 and ~ㅁ/음 to make nouns from verbs or adjectives. These work very similarly to the ~는 것 principle, but there are some differences you should be aware of.
Lesson 30: In this lesson, you will learn how to add ~는지, ~ㄴ/은지 and ~ㄹ/을지(도) to sentences to express uncertainty. Then, you will learn how to indicate that you have been doing something for a certain amount of time.
Lesson 32: In this lesson, you will learn about how to use ~려고 and ~러 in sentences to have the meaning of “for the purpose of/in order to.” You will also learn how to add ~어/아 보다 to verbs to have the meaning of “attempt/try to,” which is often used with the noun ‘적.’
Lesson 33: In this lesson, you will learn two common ways to use the noun ‘중’ in Korean. You will learn how to place 중 after a verb with ~는 것 to have the meaning of “I am ___ing.” You will also learn how to place it after multiple nouns to have the meaning of “..of all ___.”
