Korean Trap! / 한국인 실수 교정
Common mistakes Korean speakers make.
한국인이 자주 하는 실수를 알아봅시다.
❌ The stock market was crashed last week.
✅ The stock market crashed last week.
한국어에서는 "주식 시장이 폭락되었다"처럼 피동 표현을 쓰지만, 영어에서 "crash"는 자동사로 사용됩니다. 시장이 스스로 폭락하는 것이므로 수동태(was crashed)가 아니라 능동태(crashed)로 써야 합니다. 마찬가지로 "prices dropped"도 능동태가 자연스럽습니다.
