Long ago, there lived a lonely lady. She was called Lydia. Lydia's husband had died, and she was alone. She had to make a living for herself. What could Lydia do? She could make special cloth. Her cloth was very fine. The cloth was a deep purple color. Purple was the color of royalty! Royal families loved purple. Lydia sold her purple cloth. It helped Lydia live in a lovely home.Purple dye was hard to make. How did this lady do it? First, she collected a special kind of shellfish. Then she called people to help."We will leave the shells here," she said. The shells were lying on the floor. "Let's crush them into little pieces!"The people hit the shells. They used rocks and hammers. When they were done, Lydia said, "Collect all the little pieces. We will place them in salty water."
Korean Trap! / 한국인 실수 교정
Common mistakes Korean speakers make.
한국인이 자주 하는 실수를 알아봅시다.
"Sell"의 과거형은 "selled"가 아니라 "sold"입니다. 한국어에서는 동사 과거형이 규칙적이지만, 영어에는 불규칙 동사가 많습니다. sell → sold, tell → told, leave → left처럼 불규칙 변화를 기억해야 합니다.
