Let's find out what this sentence means and learn every little detail that's in it. 오늘은 어제보다 날씨가 좋아서 공원에서 김밥을 먹을 거예요. Today, the weather is better than yesterday, so I'm going to eat kimbap in the park. So there are seven grammar points here. Grammar point number one is 은. This is a topic marker, and after the word 오늘, today, you add 은 to mean as for today or so today. And unlike the name suggests, 오늘 or today is not the center topic of the whole sentence, but it just shows a nice contrast against other days in this case, okay? 오늘은, as for today. And for your reference, you are saying 은 here because 오늘 ends with the 을 sound, a consonant, and if it's another word ending with a vowel like 어제, yesterday, 어제, with a vowel, you need to use 는 and make it 어제는. So 은 and 는 are the same thing. 오늘은 어제보다 날씨가 좋아서 공원에서 김밥을 먹을 거예요. Grammar point number two, 보다. This one means then or compared to. And the difference is that in Korean, you use it like a particle and attach it at the end of a noun. So then yesterday is 어제보다. Then ice cream, 아이스크림보다. Then coffee, 커피보다. Then me, 저보다. Easy, right? So, so far we have 오늘은 어제보다. Today compared to yesterday. 오늘은 어제보다. Today, as for today, then yesterday. Grammar point number three, 가. 가 is often called the subject marking particle, and it just shows who's doing the action or who or what is being in that state. So I know it can be confusing sometimes whether to use 는 or 가, but just remember this. When you have a compound sentence, like a phrase within a phrase, it's usually 가 that's in the inside phrase, closer to the core verb, okay? So here it's used after 날씨, weather, the weather. 날씨가 좋아요. It's the weather that's being good. The weather that's the thing that's being good, okay? Grammar point number four is 서. This 서 suffix can mean several different things, but here it means because or since. The connecting part is 아, 어, or 여, depending on the verb stem. But here, 날씨가 좋다. The weather is good. The verb is 좋다, to be good, and it's followed by 아서. Just remember this as a chunk, 좋아서, meaning because it's good or since it's good. 날씨가 좋다. So far we have 오늘은 어제보다 날씨가 좋아서. 오늘은 어제보다 날씨가 좋아서. Today, because the weather is better than yesterday. And technically you are just saying the weather is good than yesterday, but the more part is understood. 오늘은 어제보다 날씨가 좋아서 김밥에서 공원을, no. 오늘은 어제보다 날씨가 좋아서 공원에서 김밥을 먹을 거예요.

Grammar point number five, 에서. 에서 here is a location marker. Unlike an English preposition, you put this 에서 after the location in Korea. 공원에서, in the park or at the park. 집에서, at home. 학교에서, at school. 차에서, in the car. Grammar point number six, 을. This is a particle that marks the object of a verb. 김밥 을 먹어요. What are you eating? It's 김밥 that you're eating. 아이스크림 을 먹어요. What are you eating again? It's ice cream that you're eating, okay? 을, that marks the object of the verb. The thing that's being done by the verb. But if the noun ends without a consonant, you use 를 instead of 을. 를 and 을 are the same thing, but just depending on the pronunciation, okay? So, for example, 피자. You have 피자, 피자. 피자를 먹어요. It's pizza that you eat. 오늘은 어제보다 날씨가 좋아서 공원에서 김밥을 먹을 거예요. Grammar point number seven, 을 거예요. Lastly, we have the future tense ending. Take any Korean verb in its original verb form, original dictionary form, which always ends with 다 and just remove 다. Then you are left with the verb stem. If at the very end of the verb stem, there's a consonant like ㄱ, ㄴ, ㄷ, ㄹ, and so on, you add 을 거예요. And if there's no consonant at the end, you just add ㄹ 거예요. But the pronunciation is the same. So you have 먹다, 먹다, to eat. It changes to 먹을 거예요. I will eat or I am going to eat. 자다, to sleep. 잘 거예요. I will sleep or I am going to sleep. 하다, to do. 할 거예요. I will do or I am going to do. 김밥을 먹을 거예요. I am going to eat 김밥. Where? 공원에서. The location marker. 공원에서 김밥을 먹을 거예요. I'm going to eat 김밥 in the park. Why? 날씨가 좋아서. Because the weather is good. 날씨가 좋아서 공원에서 김밥을 먹을 거예요. And when is the weather good? Compared to when? Because today the weather is better than yesterday. Once again. So all together.
