KIIP Level 3 Grammar Explanations

Chapter 3:집들이를 하기로했는데 가족과함게 오시겠어요?
-기로 하다
- This is used when talking about the speaker’s plan, decision, or resolution.
- This is also used when describing a plan with some suggestions to others.
- Roughly translates to “I’ve decided to…” -or- “I’m going to…“
*This grammar form should only be used with verbs.
*This grammar form cannot be used with future tense.
Conjugation
When using this grammar form, you should drop the 다 and add -기로 하다 to the end of the verb stem. With this form, you don’t need to worry about whether the verb has a final consonant (받침) or not. You simply drop the 다 from the infinitive form and add the ending. See the examples below.
하다 ⇒ 하다 + 기로 하다 ⇒ 하기로 하다
먹다 ⇒ 먹다 + 기로 하다 ⇒ 먹기로 하다
가다 ⇒ 가다 + 기로 하다 ⇒ 가기로 하다
보다 ⇒ 보다 + 기로 하다 ⇒ 보기로 하다
Sentence Examples
A: 내일 뭐 해요? (What will you do tomorrow?)
B: 은수의 생일 피티를 하기로 했어요. (I’m going to go to Eun Su’s birthday party.)
A: 이번 주말에 집들이를 하기로 했는데, (I’ve decided to have a housewarming party…)
올 수 있어요? (…this weekend, can you come?)
B: 그럼요. 몇 시까지 가면 돼요? (Of course. What time should I come?)
A: 내일 김 선생님하고 뭘 먹을 거예요? (What will you eat with Ms. Kim tomorrow?)
B: 닭갈비를 먹기로 했어요. (I’ve decided to eat spicy chicken stir-fry.)
-(으)ㄹ 텐데
- This is used to express an expected or intended situation, but it is followed by either a related or contrary statement.
- This is also used to indicate a guess at the end of a sentence.
- This grammar point often expresses a slight feeling of regret and/or annoyance.
- Roughly translates to “If/Even if…” -or- “would have…“
*This grammar form can be used with verbs, adjectives, and nouns.
Conjugation
When using this grammar with verbs, you should drop the 다 and add -(으)ㄹ 텐데 to the end of the verb stem. The same can be done when using this with adjectives. However, nouns are a little different. For nouns ending with a final consonant (받침) you should add an 일 to the end of the noun before adding -텐데. For nouns ending without a final consonant (받침) you should add a ㄹ to the end of the noun before adding -텐데. See the examples below. Be sure to pay attention to whether there is a final consonant (받침) on the verb stem or not.
Verbs: 받침 X : 하다 ⇒ 하다 + ㄹ텐데 ⇒ 할 텐데
받침 O : 먹다 ⇒ 먹다 + 을텐데 ⇒ 먹을 텐데
*불규칙 : 만들다 ⇒ 만들다 + 텐데 ⇒ 만들 텐데
Adjectives: 받침 X : 바쁘다 ⇒ 바쁘다 + ㄹ텐데 ⇒ 바쁠 텐데
받침 O : 아름답다 ⇒ 아름답다 + 울텐데 ⇒ 아름다울 텐데
*Using this grammar form with nouns is uncommon, but it is still acceptable.
Nouns: 받침 X : 커피 ⇒ ㄹ + 텐데 ⇒ 커필 텐데
받침 O : 학생 ⇒ 일 + 텐데 ⇒ 학생일 텐데
Sentence Examples
A: 바쁘실 텐데 와 주셔서 고마워요. (Even though you were busy, thank you for coming.)
B: 별 말씀을요. 초대해 주셔서 고마워요. (You’re welcome. Thank you for inviting me.)
A: 내일 수업에 홍매 씨가 올까요? (Will Ms. Hong Mae come to class tomorrow?)
B: 글쎄요. 이사를 해서 못 올텐데요. (Well. She is moving, so she probably won’t come. )
A: 토요일이라서 길이막힐 텐데… (Since it’s Saturday the roads will be jammed…)
어떻게 하지요? (what should I do?)
B: 지하철을 타는 게 좋겠어요. (You should ride the subway.)
Let’s Put It All Together!
A: 고향 친구들하고 모임이 하기로 했는데, 같이 갈래요?
(I’m going to meet my hometown friends, shall we to go together?)
B: 오랜만에 친구를 만날텐데 제가 가도 괜찮아요?
