#Unit_Lessons 58: Particles ~ N와/과, N(이)랑, N하고

~ N와/과, N(이)랑, N하고:

~ Grammar Focus:

1 These particles express the listing of various things or people and correspond to “and” in English. 와/과 is used mainly in writing, presentations, and speeches while (이)랑 and 하고 are used in everyday conversation. For nouns ending in a vowel, 와 or 랑 is used, and for nouns ending in a consonant, 과 or 이랑 is used. 하고 is used regardless of whether a final consonant is present.

2 These particles can also indicate the target with which the subject performs an action and correspond to ‘(together) with’ in English. When indicating such a relationship, 같이 and 함께 normally follow the particle.

· 내일 친구하고 같이 영화를 볼 거예요. I plan to see a movie (together) with my friend tomorrow.

· 가족과 함께 여행을 가고 십어요. I want to go on a trip (together) with my family.

· 우리 선생닙하고 같이 식사할까요? Shall we have a lunch (together) with the teacher?

In Conversation:

A 교실에 누가 있습니까? A Who’s in the classroom? B 선쟁님과 학생들이 있습니다. B The teacher and students (are in the classroom).

A 무슨 음식을 좋아해요? A What kind of food do you like? B 냉면이랑 김밥을 좋아애요. B I like naengmyeon and kimbab.

Check It Out:

1 When functioning as particles to list things, (이)랑 and 하고 can be added to the final noun in the list, but 와/과 cannot.

2 Although 와/과, (이)랑, and 하고 can all be used similarly to list things, they connot be mixed within the same sentence.
