(으)면: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 08:15, 10 June 2009

Adjective/Verb + (으)면 : This pattern is a non final ending used for conditional statements, equivalent to 'if' in English.

If the subject of the dependent and main clause are the same then you use the contrast markers 는/은.
If the subject of the dependent and main clause are different, then use the subject markers 가/이.
The dependent clause is attached to 면 and followed by the main clause. See the example below:

Dependent clause	Main clause
다음 주에 서울로 오면	전화해 주새요
If you come to Seoul next week	please call me.

Conjugation Rule
	Pattern	Case	Example

Rule 2:	으면	If there is a 받침 at the end of the adjective/verb stem	먹다 → 먹으면 없다 → 없으면
