Workbook: Unit 18 - Negative Sentences

Practice saying "no" and making verbs negative!

Exercise 1: Make it Negative

Add 안 to the following regular verbs to make them negative. Translate the new sentence.

1. 봐요 (watch) -> ________ (Meaning: ________ )
2. 샀어요 (bought) -> ________ (Meaning: ________ )
3. 맛있어요 (is delicious) -> (Wait! 맛있어요 is a compound of 맛 + 있어요. The opposite of 있어요 is 없어요. So you don't use 안! You just say 맛없어요!) Let's try a regular adjective: 커요 (is big). -> ________ (Meaning: ________ )

Exercise 2: The 하다 Exception

Change the following 하다 action verbs into their negative present tense form (해요 -> 안 해요). Remember to split the noun and the verb!

1. 요리하다 (to cook. Noun: 요리) -> I do not cook:
2. 수영하다 (to swim. Noun: 수영) -> I do not swim:
3. 운동하다 (to exercise. Noun: 운동) -> I do not exercise:

Exercise 3: Translation

Translate the following short sentences into Korean.

Vocabulary: * 학교 (hak-gyo) = school * 에 (e) = to (direction particle) * 가다 (ga-da) = to go * 일하다 (il-ha-da) = to work

1. I do not go to school.

2. I did not work. (Past tense!)
