O

nce upon a time and long ago, there was a peaceful and happy kingdom called Grammar Land. Throughout all
the world, the people of Grammar Land (the Grammarians) were well known to have the greatest and best
understanding of English grammar, spelling and pronunciation.

As a result, the kingdom of Grammar Land flourished -- it


had the best economy, the finest art, the strongest soldiers
and technology, and even the most beautiful princesses,
who also were masters and teachers of English grammar.
As you might expect, Grammarians took great pride in their
perfect usage of English. After all, a kingdom with the best
command of the language was sure to be the strongest
in many other areas of life as well. The king, knights,
princesses, merchants, teachers and artists of Grammar
Land all took great pleasure in each and every English
conversation with one another. All was well in the land, and
it seemed nothing could disturb their excellent way of life.

Then, without warning, tragedy struck.

Suddenly an awful shrieking could be heard from the skies above Grammar Land -- it was the terrible dragon
KONGLISH of the Ungrammatical Land, heading straight for the royal castle! What did he want, the Grammarians
wondered? How and why would Konglish attack? It had been many, many years since anyone had seen Konglish. It
had been so long, in fact, that young Grammarians scarcely believed of his existence, thinking he was only a madeup bedtime story told by the elders of Grammar Land; a fairy tale designed to frighten children into studying their
English lessons every day.

Unfortunately, Konglish had other plans. Mounting a cunning surprise attack, the fierce dragon swept in,
kidnapping the twelve beautiful princesses from the castle! Wasting no time, Konglish swiftly whisked the lovely
and well-spoken princesses back to Ungrammatical Land, holding them prisoner. To make matters worse, he
dispersed the princesses throughout Ungrammatical Land to make any attempt at a rescue even more impossible.

Land might be lost forever. The king immediately enacted a plan to rescue the twelve princesses and return them to
their rightful home.

Adventuring through the Ungrammatical Land and rescuing the princesses would be no easy task! Everyone was
sure that whoever would go to Ungrammatical Land would need to be equipped with perfect English in order to
survive. The king of Grammar Land, wise in the ways of the evil Ungrammatical Land, knew many battles would lie
ahead for whatever brave warriors, magicians and English experts would accept the quest. With dangerous monsters
and ungrammatical demons lying ahead, the king vowed to destroy the evil and ungrammatical dragon Konglish,
rescue the twelve princesses, and restore perfect English to Grammar Land once and for all!

Although the king was resolute in his plan to rescue the princesses, he was in despair. He wondered aloud, Who in
Grammar Land will be brave enough to accept such a dangerous quest to rescue the princesses? Great riches and
noble titles shall be bestowed upon all men who are brave enough to help! To aid in the quest, the king turned to the
faithful and brave families of Grammar Land, including legendary grammar crusader Professor Hoho and his heroic
Grammar Knights.

(The Ten Different word Families
of Grammar Land)

efore our story continues, lets review the history of the ten families of Grammar Land. What are the ten families? They are the Verbs, the Nouns,
the Adjectives, the Adverbs, the Pronouns, the Auxiliary Verbs, the Conjunctions, the Articles, the Prepositions and the Interjections. Of the ten great
families in Grammar Land, some 1 are considered major and others 2 are regarded as minor.

The major word families (Verb, Noun, Adjective and Adverb) are major because these word families are open and new people can easily join these
families. This means the number of people in these families is often 1 getting larger. There are always a lot of immigrant (word) people 2 who want
to join these major families. As they are open to newcomers, the major families take the word knights from other families, but 3 only if they 4 are
willing to change their form and appearance to fit their new family. For example, people from the Noun family can become members of the Adjective
family if they add suffixes to their name such as -ly, -ful, -cal and so on. We will talk about words which change families later in more detail.

The Verbs, the Nouns, the Adjectives, and the Adverbs are very powerful and brave 1 ; most of them are doing the most important jobs in Grammar
Land. The bravest and most powerful boys from these families often 2 go on to become honorable Grammar Knights. After they become Grammar
Knights and are used in sentences, they change their names, and they are given titles of nobility. They become: Sir Subject, Sir Verb, Sir Object and 3
last but not least, Sir Complement.

and Adverbs.

The Adjectives are masters of description. As describing words,


the Adjectives usually work to qualify (modify) Nouns and Noun
Phrases, giving information or detail to them.


,

The Adverbs are masters of modification. They can modify the Verbs,
Adjectives, Nouns, other Adverbs or even clauses, phrases and
sentences. The Adverbs express manner, place, time, frequency,
degree, level of certainty, etc.

Verbs.

The Pronouns are substitutes for Nouns or Noun Phrases, which


means they can work as a Noun or a Noun Phrase.

The Prepositions usually explain the spatial or temporal


relationship between the Nouns and Noun Phrases in a sentence.
As their name suggests, they are positioned before the Nouns or Noun
Phrases (Gerunds) to make adverbials.

The Articles appear before Nouns or Noun Phrases to indicate


volumic and numerical scope, and whether we are referencing
a specific Noun. The Articles are also members of the Determiners.

The Interjections express particular emotions such as excitement,

word and they dont have to be used in the complete sentences.

The Conjunctions connect words, sentences, phrases or clauses. They


are connectors, connecting whole ideas together.

Every word in English belongs to at least one word group. These word families may not seem very important right now, but they are quite important when
trying to understand more advanced English sentence structures. For beginners who might have trouble noticing differences between word groups, see
the Korean Translation Book.

If you are having difficulty understanding things so far, dont worry! Repetition and reading often is the key to understanding a new language. Reading
the stories in this book repeatedly will enhance your understanding of grammar structures, and in time, you will begin to assimilate information and
understand the flow of English grammar just as a native speaker does.

Grammar Land is an 1 old, traditional country. As you might expect,


Major word families. Lets study them 4 in greater detail.

each family has special and unique historical

traits, especially the four

First, lets look at the habits of the most influential family in Grammar Land, the Verb family. Do you remember their family crest? As their motto
reads, the Verbs are masters of action. They 5 are in charge of any words that indicate action.
Because they are an active family, the Verbs have a Verb Festival every year in the Verb Village. Below is the Verb Fair which 6 takes place at the Verb
Fair which takes place at the Verb Festival. Each verb booth has its own verb 7 representative to explain 8 what they do. Since they are proud and
competitive, they 9 love telling others 10 about what they can do!

Wait a minute! If you look at the Verbs on the 1 preceding pages, you may 2 notice that some Verbs appear repeatedly (walk, read, swim, stand...).
We will talk more about this later, but whether the Verbs are stative/dynamic or intransitive/transitive 3 places them in a different category from
4 one another. That means the stative verb like can be transitive while another stative verb such as appear can be intransitive.
Alright then, shall we listen to other Verb family members talk about themselves?

already been introduced in a short amount of time. This might cause you to become a bit 2 discouraged or 3 confused. Dont worry about not being
able to understand everything about the Verbs right now because we will talk about them in more detail later in this book.
As you already know, the Verbs are the most important word group in Grammar Land. We will talk about their functions repeatedly in this book. In
addition, the Verbs who can be transformed into Nouns, Adjectives and Adverbs in sentences will be talked about in more detail in Book 3.

an idea or quality that cannot be perceived
by any of the five senses
ex) love, honor, trust, faith, bravery

two or more words combined to make a single
noun. a single word, two words together or
words connected with hyphens are possible.

This is the name-registration application form, where the categories of various noun names are listed for the applicants to check. You can check as
many boxes as you want, depending on the name you want to register. Note that the categories listed each have different standards.
Let me explain each noun category one by one. First, we must determine whether a noun is a common or proper noun. This is easy -- common nouns
are for general things and proper nouns are for a specific and unique name or brand. Is this still a bit tricky?

I will give you an example. A cat is a general name to talk about a certain type of animal, so there can be a lot of cats. In this case, the noun cat is
a common noun. However, lets say, somewhere in the world, there is a dog named Cat. Here, the noun dog is a common noun, while Cat with a
capital letter C is a proper noun. As proper nouns are for unique names, you have to capitalize the first letter. We will talk about this in more detail
later on, in Book 5!

The motto of the Noun family is People, Places and Things, but the Nouns often talk about ideas which are not physical but conceptual, such as
beauty, love, hate, good, vice, philosophy, and so on. Therefore, we must also determine whether nouns are concrete or abstract. The conceptual
names listed above (beauty, love, hate, good, vice or philosophy) are of course abstract nouns. Physical things, people, or places can be regarded
as concrete nouns.

, , ideas (: beauty , love


, good (), vice (), philosophy ) . , ()
. (beauty, love, hate, good, vice, philosophy) . ,
, .

Also, at the Noun Name Office, you can check if the names you want to register are compound nouns or collective nouns. Compound nouns are names
which are made 1 by combining two or more nouns together. This is really useful; think about the nouns dry-cleaning or haircut. As you can see,
there can be a hyphen (-) to connect the two different words dry and cleaning. Similarly, the two separate words hair and cut can 2 be conjoined
without any space or hyphen. We will talk more about compound nouns in Book 5!

, .
. . dry-cleaning (dry + cleaning) haircut (hair +
cut) . , (-) hair
cut . 5 !
1 by combining: , by+V-ing ~
.

be conjoined: . conjoin

Collective nouns are names for groups: police, family, class, crowd, audience. If you want to register names to represent certain groups, you have to
check the box for the collective nouns category.

(police , family , class , crowd , audience ) () .

1 Once you register your name at the center, it is possible to become 2 part of the Noun family. So, what do the knights from the Noun family do?
They can function as Sir Subject, Sir Object and Sir Complement. 3 Since nouns can function as these three common parts of sentences, they 4 are
always in need of new members. Now we can easily understand why they are trying to recruit 5 more and more word knights.

Oh, look! Here is a poster which is being used to
recruit more nouns. Did you know that Verbs and
Adjectives can join the Noun family by adding
suffixes? For example, Verbs can be Nouns when
suffixes such as -ment are added on the end.
Verbs can also be gerunds (V-ing) or to-infinitives
(to+V) to function as a Noun. Adjectives can join
Nouns by adding the suffixes -ness, -ty, and so
on.

Next, the Adjectives welcome you all to the Annual Fantastic International Adjective Movie Festival, held at the Adjective Movie Theater.

, .
The brave knights from the 1 honorable Adjective family
function as Sir Complement. Additionally, they can also modify,
describe or 2 qualify the Nouns.


. , (
) .
1 honorable: honor+able

2 qualify: qualify ,
,
( )
.

These are the important duties of the Adjectives. Then, arent you curious
about why they hold a movie festival? As you can see from the posters
of the movies, the Adjectives are artistic and productive people. They
love artistic movement and they also want to express their innermost
feelings!

Do the descriptive movie titles of the festival make you interested in


seeing the films? Lets talk more about adjectives in Book 6. 1 For now,

into the adjective agreeable. Similarly, the verb produce can be changed into the adjective productive. Present participles (V-ing) and past
participles (V-ed) are Adjectives which are modified versions of Verbs, of course.

, , -able -tive . agree agreeable . , produce productive


. (V-ing) (V-ed) .

Likewise, Nouns can join the Adjectives by adding suffixes such as -ful, -ly, -al, -some, and so on. For example, if you see words like beautiful,
friendly, accidental, troublesome, and so on, they are the Adjectives.

The final three Major families sound pretty important, right? Sir Subject, Sir
Verb, Sir Object and Sir Complement are the most important and necessary
knights in any sentence. If the Verb, the Noun and the Adjective families can 1

other word knights can join the Adverb family to work as Adverbs in a sentence.

For example, usually with the help of the suffix -ly, almost all the Adjectives
can become Adverbs. Also, Nouns can join up with Prepositions to become
Prepositional Phrases, which can function just like the Adverbs, telling us time,
place, 1 and the like. Even Sir Subject and Sir Verb can work as Adverbs when
they are combined with Conjunctions.

Verbs are often considered the most important word family in English, as they bring action to sentences. Every sentence should have one verb to describe
the action of the subject. When verbs are used as a verb in a sentence, they are called finite verbs. If the verbs are 1 finite, they should be 2 conjugated,
which means they have to have proper 1) tense 2) voice and 3) subject-verb agreement. If youre not familiar with these ideas, dont worry! We will talk
about these concepts later in Book 2! Verbs can also be transformed into nouns, adjectives and adverbs. In this usage, verbs are called non-finite or infinite
verbs. There are three types of non-finite verbs: 1) gerunds 2) to-infinitives and 3) participles. We will talk more about this in detail in Book 3.
According to the context of English sentences, verbs can be either stative (state) or dynamic (action). As you might guess from their name, dynamic verbs
can describe active actions. We will also talk about this more in Book 2, when we talk about continuous tenses.

Depending on what follows a verb in a sentence, we sometimes find intransitive verbs (which dont need any objects or complements), transitive
verbs (which need objects), linking verbs (which need complements), causative verbs (which need objects and non-finite verbs) and so on. We will

Tomorrow, Sandy, Mike and I are going hiking. We are all really excited about the trip, but we
need to remember to bring several things along with us. Each of us is going to bring something
different 1 on the trail. I am going to bring some kimbap and lots of water. Sandy loves kimchi,
so she will bring 2 homemade kimchi and some side-dishes. And, since Mike likes to drink on
the mountain top, he is going to bring some beer, meokkoli and peanuts. What is meokkoli, you
ask? It is a traditional Korean rice wine. Anyway, I hope all these things are enough to 3 feed
three people! We are going to have so much fun!
All the words in blue above are verbs. There is only one finite verb in each sentence, and it should be conjugated (changed) according to the number of
the subject. Finite verbs are also underlined. Other verbs are non-finite verbs, which are transformed and used as other parts of speech in sentences.

Nouns are important because they can be a subject, object or complement, which are the three most important/vital components in forming sentences.
More information on nouns will be provided in Book 5!

.

Common nouns are for general things, people and animals, 1 while proper nouns are for specific things with special names, such as brand names
for products or the names of places, countries, things and people. 2 As for proper nouns, we need to capitalize the first letter of the word as they are
unique, describing only one, certain thing.

Depending on the meaning, nouns can be concrete or abstract. Concrete nouns describe things you can perceive with your five senses (see, smell,
hear, feel, taste). For example, books (you can see and feel them) or cats (you can see, feel and hear) are concrete nouns. However, abstract nouns are
the opposite of concrete nouns, which means you cannot perceive them with any of your five senses. For example, you cannot see, smell, hear, feel or
taste beauty, good and philosophy because they are non-physical concepts.

, taste ) . , ( ) (books) ( )
(cats) . , (abstract nouns) . , ,
, , , , , .
Another important group is called collective nouns. As nouns are used to talk about names, you need names which can refer to either the entire group
itself or the members of the group, such as family (the entire family or all the family members), police (the entire police force or policemen) and
committee (a group of people appointed for a specific function or the members of the committee).

. ,
, family( ), police( ), committee(-

Finally, you have to remember to use articles (a, an, the) or other determiners before nouns. Information on articles and determiners will be provided on
page 50 later in this book.

When making an omelette, dont forget to put butter in the pan before adding eggs.
Omelette, pan and egg are countable, which means you have to add articles like a, an, or the, or you can make them plural nouns. Butter, however, is
an uncountable (mass) noun which you cannot count, meaning the numeral articles or plural forms cannot be used here. Omelette(), pan(), egg(

English nouns can be either countable or uncountable. If they are countable, they are either singular or plural. For singular countable nouns, you
have to use articles such as a, an or the. Plural countable nouns should have -s or -es as a suffix. However, uncountable nouns cannot be used
with the singular articles a or an. With uncountable nouns, plural forms are not possible, either.
Most nouns are countable, so it might be a better idea to remember which nouns are uncountable nouns. Here are some types of uncountable nouns
in a short list:

. .
a, an, the . -s -es . ,
a an . .
.
:








liquids (milk , water , oil )

things (equipment , clothing , furniture )
natural phenomena (weather , thunder , rain , snow , sunshine )
abstract ideas (advice , chaos , motivation , information )
states of being (sleep , stress , childhood )
feelings (anger , happiness , enthusiasm , courage )

You cannot use a or an with these uncountable (mass) nouns. Usually, with uncountable nouns, the following phrases are used:

() a, an . , :



How much ...? ...?

Adjectives are descriptive words. They can either modify nouns/pronouns (attributive) or describe them (predicative). Some good examples of
descriptive adjectives are red, black, happy, open, good, wide and narrow. Many adjectives end with suffixes such as -ly, -ful, -al, -cal, -y, -ed, -ing
and -ous. It is important to note that any parts of speech which can come before nouns and modify them can be regarded as adjectives: possessive
adjectives (my, your, their...), demonstrative adjectives (this, that, these, those), interrogative adjectives (what, which, whose), indefinite adjectives
(any, few, no...). For more detailed information on the adjectives, you can refer to Book 7.
Additionally, you can make comparative (-er) and superlative (-est) forms from adjectives. For example: Timmy is tall, but Jack is taller than him and
Paul is the tallest of all. For more information on comparative and superlative adjectives, see Book 9.

Adverbs can modify verbs, adjectives, adverbs, phrases, clauses, sentences, and even nouns. Adverbs as modifiers typically express manner, place, time,
frequency, degree, level of certainty, and so on, answering questions such as How?, In what way?, Where?, When? and To what extent?. Even
though adverbs are one of the four major parts of speech, your sentences dont have to use adverbs all the time. However, since they can often bring a lot
more detail to your thoughts, if you use adverbs in your sentences, they will become a lot more interesting.

Like adjectives, adverbs also have comparative and superlative forms. To make comparative/superlative adverbs, you can add the suffix -er for
comparatives and the suffix -est for superlatives. Or, you can use the word more for comparatives and most for superlatives which come before adverbs,
if the adverbs have more than two syllables or already end with the suffix -ly. For rules regarding the creation of comparative/superlative adverbs, see
Appendix page A-215.

(the Openness of Major Word Groups)

he four major word groups are called open word groups, because new words can be made by adding certain prefixes or suffixes to 1 existing
words. This 2 feature gives the English language great 3 flexibility, and allows for the production of more 4 artful and interesting sentences.

ADVERB
As you can see from the chart above, you can easily make new words to be used as different parts of speech. Lets take a noun such as joy as an
example.

, . joy .
[Sentence 1] I know the joy of painting pictures.

[ 1] .
[Sentence 2] Painting pictures can be a joy activity. (x)
Painting pictures can be a joyful/joyous activity.

[ 2] .

Here, you can add the suffix -ful or -ous to the noun joy to change it into the adjective joyful or joyous.

, -ful -ous joy joyful joyous .


[Sentence 3] I joy painting pictures. (x)

[ 3] .
This sentence is incorrect as there is no verb. By adding the prefix en-, you can make a new verb from the noun joy.

. en- joy .
[Sentence 3] I enjoy painting pictures. (O)

K-32

Professor Hohos Grammar Story - Book 1: A Dark Tragedy in Grammar Land

[/]
[Sentence 4] I joy paint pictures.
I joyfully paint pictures.

[ 4] .

With the verb paint, we want to describe how a person paints, which means we need an adverb to modify the verb. Because joy is a noun, you have
to add -ful to make the adjective joyful. Then, add the suffix -ly to make the adverbial form joyfully.

paint . joy
, -ful joyful . , -ly joyfully
.

These days, many people believe that being successful is a big part of achieving happiness.
After the linking verb be, a predicative adjective is needed. Therefore, instead of using the noun form success, you can make it into an adjective form by adding the suffix -ful. After
the preposition of, the verb achieve should be changed into a gerund (noun form). be . , success
-ful . of achieve ( ) .

Personally, I believe that a simplistic life with less stress and fewer problems will bring more
happiness than being famous or beautiful.

The Konglish word used in Korea is a word which can be spelled like the English word fighting. The meanings of these two words in each
language, however, are totally different. Of course, fighting is an English word formed by adding the suffix -ing to the verb fight. 1 History suggests
that the first copy usage of the popular Korean word 2 originated in Japan, where they used the word () for 3 cheering for such
things as sporting events. The Japanese word () itself came from the English word fight, but ironically, in the Western world, nobody
yells fighting or fight during sporting matches. Languages evolve organically and new words are frequently invented 4 over time, so really, it isnt
strange that Korea now says at sporting matches. In fact, many English words were borrowed from other languages and 6 were assimilated
into English long ago. For example, words like kindergarten, chef, and pasta are not originally from the English language, but were borrowed from the
German language, the French language and the Italian language, 7 respectively. Who knows? Maybe the Korean word will appear in a Korean
dictionary someday if enough people keep using it!
