Lesson Notes

Grammar

The Focus of This Lesson is requesting help

Use the following pattern to ask for help


[Pattern]

동사어간+아/어/여줄 + 수 있어요
dongsaeogan + a/eo/yeo jul + su isseoyo
verb stem + a/eojul + can/be able to do

1. 도와 줄 수 있어요?
Dowa jul su isseoyo?
"Could you help me?"

When you want to ask someone for help, use the phrase 아어/줄 수
있어요(a/eojul su isseoyo). Simply add the phrase after the verb/action you
seek help for. 줄 수 있다(jul su itda) is the future tense of the verb
주다(juda)="give"-it is used for requesting help for an action that will take
place in the future.

동사어간+아/어/여 줄 수 있어요? [Can you do it for me?]

This phrase originates from 아/어 주다(a/eo juda)="do something for


someone". Adding this phrase to the stem of a word implies that the action
that is being done is beneficial to you (or for whom the action is being done
for).

Example:

1. 그는 나를 도와 주었어요.
Geuneun nareul dowajueosseoyo.
"He gave help to me-->He helped me."
2. 그는 내 숙제를 해 줬어요.
Geuneun nae sukjereul hae jwosseoyo.
"He did my homework for me."

동사어간+아/어/여줄 수 있어요? [Could you do it for me?]

동사어간+아/어/여 줄 수 있어(a/eo/yeo jul su isseo) actually means "can do


V". But when you add a question mark at the end, it becomes a phrase
requesting help--"can you do V for me(speaker)?"

Example:

1. 가 줄 수 있어.
Ga jeul su isseo.
"I can go for you."
2. 가 줄 수 있어?
Ga jeul su isseo?
"Can you go for me?"
3. 데이트 해 줄 수 있어.
Deitu hae jul su isseo.
"I can go on a date with you."
4. 데이트 해 줄 수 있어요?
Deitu had jul su isseyo?
"Can you go on a date with me?"

Review

Use the phrase 아/어/여 줄 수 있어요?(a/eo jul su isseoyo?) when requesting


help from someone.
