  • making a relative clause, that is, a noun-modifying clause, by replacing the verb ending of theclause- final verb with –(으)ㄴ, –는, or –(으)ㄹ appropriately, for example, 저기에서 노래하는 사람이 누구예요?; 제가 어제 본 영화는 정말 슬펐어요; 언제 갈계획이에요?; 날씨가 좋은 날에 바비큐를 해요; 재미있을 것 같아요

  • analysing the structure of complex verb phrases andexpanding their use, understanding how meanings are added to the main verb, such as desire, likelihood, shift ofactions, designation, habits, pretence (as if …) and verge (almost ...), for example, 알고 싶어요, 비가 올 것 같아요, 갔다 왔어요, 보러 가요,조깅을 하곤 했어요, 바쁜 척했어요, 가지 못할 뻔했어요
