DESCRIPTION

Korean Beginner lessons “Might” and “Maybe” are two conversational words that you use all the time. You say things like, “I might be there” and “Maybe you’d like to go to dinner” constantly. These words express that you aren’t quite certain about something, so they become an integral part of daily conversations.

Grammar Points---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Grammar Point #1 - Might/Maybe - -ㄹ/을지도 모르다 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ㄹ/을지도 모르다 (-l/euljido moreuda) is the grammatical structure used to expressprobability or possibility about a present state or future action. This structure literally means "Idon't know either whether or not," and it is most commonly translated as "Subject + might +verb." This structure is similar in meaning to -ㄹ/을 수도 있다 (-l/eul su-do itda).

▷ Construction ▶ Verb stem ending in a vowel + -ㄹ지도 모르다 - 가다 (gada - to go) - 가 + ㄹ지도 모르다 = 갈지도 모르다 ▷▷ 갈지도 몰라(요). (I might go.)

▶ Verb stem ending in a consonant + -을지도 모르다 - 없다 (eopda - to not have, to not be there) - 없 + 을지도 모르다 = 없을지도 모르다 ▷▷ 없을지도 몰라(요). (It might not be there.)

▶ Verb stem ending in the consonant ㄹ + -지도 모르다 - 풀다 (ulda - to cry)
