Integrated Korean Beginning 2 (Grammar)
Language/Korean
I made a grammar deck for Integrated Korean Beggining 2 that covers all grammar points from lesson 8-16 with examples, explanations, and grammar rules. You can also sort by lesson in the crowd browser to view a chronogical list of the cards (although it should already be chronological in terms of card position).

| grammatical concept | Verb stem + ~(으)ㄹ까요? |
| usage | Polite way to propose or seek opinion. |
| equivalent | “Shall we…?; Do you think…?” |
| notes | The ending ~(으)ㄹ까요? is used to make a suggestion to the listener (“Shall we…?”) or to ask for their opinion or guess (“Do you think…?”). It softens the proposal or question, making it sound cooperative. In first-person plural, it usually means “Shall we…?”; in other contexts, it can mean “Do you think…?” |
| rules | Consonant-final stem → -을까요?Vowel-final stem → -ㄹ까요? |
| examples | 같이 갈까요? (Shall we go together?) 저녁을 먹을까요? (Shall we eat dinner?) 그 사람이 올까요? (Do you think he will come?) 내일 비가 올까요? (Do you think it will rain tomorrow?) |

The subject is marked with 이/가. Past and future tenses are also possible: ~고 있었다 “was -ing,” ~고 있을 것이다 “will be -ing.” |
