는 or 은 are used to indicate the _______ (or main person/thing) in a sentence.

를 or 을 are used to indicate the ______ in a sentence.

In all situations, 이 is attached to the nouns in which the last letter is a consonant (like 은) and 가 is attached to nouns in which the last letter is a vowel (like 는). ex. 수학이 싫어 + 뭐가?

있다 means to have

있다 means to be at a location

이다 (to be) acts as an _________ in Korean. 있다 (to have) also acts as an adjective.

Sentences with adjectives CAN act on an object.

Thus, you CANNOT have a word with the particle 를/을 attached to it if the predicating word in a sentence is an adjective (because 를/을 indicates an object in a sentence.)

Remember! 있다 acts as an adjective, so we cannot have an object in this sentence: 나는 펜을 있다. The use of ___ on 펜 is incorrect.

를/을 is not used to indicate the object that one "has". Instead, __/__ are used.

__ is often used in sentences with 있다 to indicate the location of somebody/something.

You can't use position words to indicate specifically where someone/something is with respect to another noun.

Position words are placed______ a noun to indicate where an object is with repect to the noun.

The particle 에 is then attached directly to the position words.

adverbs tell you

You use 이/가 on the ______ that one "has" when using 있다.

이/가, like 는/은 is added to the _______ of the sentence. In some situations, there is no difference in meaning or feel between adding 이/가 or 는/은 to the subject.
