Korean Trap! / 한국인 실수 교정

Common mistakes Korean speakers make when talking about transportation.
교통수단에 대해 이야기할 때 한국인이 자주 하는 실수입니다.

❌ I go to work by subway. It takes 1 hour by subway.
✅ I take the subway to work. It takes an hour by subway.

두 가지 주의점: 1) "go by subway"보다 "take the subway"가 더 자연스럽습니다. 2) "1 hour"가 아니라 "an hour"입니다. 모음 소리로 시작하는 단어 앞에는 "an"을 사용합니다.

❌ I ride a car to the office every day.
✅ I drive to the office every day. / I take a car to the office every day.

영어에서 자동차는 "ride"가 아니라 "drive"입니다. "ride"는 자전거, 오토바이, 말 등에 사용합니다. 택시나 다른 사람이 운전할 때는 "take"를 씁니다.
