Grammar Focus 핵심 정리

1. Who called? vs. Who did you call? 누가 했어요? vs 누구한테 했어요?

When who or what is the subject, the verb comes right after it, with no do / did. Who called you? / What happened? When who is the object, we use do / did as usual. Who did you call?

의문사가 주어일 때, 즉 누가 했는지나 무엇이 일어났는지를 물을 때는 do / did 없이 의문사 바로 뒤에 동사를 씁니다. Who called you?(누가 전화했어요?) / What happened?(무슨 일이 있었어요?) 의문사가 주어가 아닐 때는 일반 의문문처럼 did를 넣고 그 뒤에 주어를 씁니다. Who did you call?(누구한테 전화했어요?)에서 전화를 건 사람은 you예요.

2. Subject questions in the present 현재시제로 주어를 물을 때

In the present, the verb takes -s, because we treat who and what like he, she, or it. Who wants coffee? / What makes you happy?

현재시제로 주어를 물을 때는 동사에 -s를 붙입니다. who와 what을 he / she / it처럼 취급하기 때문이에요. Who wants coffee? / What makes you happy?

3. Polite indirect questions 공손한 간접 질문

After Do you know ...? or Can you tell me ...?, use normal sentence order: subject + verb. Where is the station? → Do you know where the station is? We don't use do / does / did here, so the verb changes instead. What does it mean? → Can you tell me what it means?

Do you know ...? / Can you tell me ...? 뒤에 질문을 넣을 때는 평서문 순서(주어 + 동사)로 씁니다. Where is the station? → Do you know where the station is? 이때 does는 빠지고, 그 대신 동사에 -s가 붙어요. What does it mean? → Can you tell me what it means?

Direct	Polite
Where is it?	Do you know where it is?
What does it mean?	Can you tell me what it means?
When does it start?	Do you know when it starts?
What time did he leave?	Do you know what time he left?
