1) 아/어도 되다.


밥이 국에서 먹어도 됩니까? This is a grammatically correct sentence but its concept illogical. Literally, it means: Can rice eat in(side) the soup?


May I eat the rice in the soup? 밥을 국에 말아서 먹어도 됩니까? sounds best.

너무 추워요. 잠바를 입어도 돼요? 잠바 tends to be a jacket rather than a jumper as the word suggests. The word for sweater is 스웨터.

It's really cold. Can I wear a sweater?

오늘은 직업을 바쁘지 않입니다. 일찍 가도 됩니다. 오늘은 일이 바쁘지 않습니다. 
- 을 is a determiner that is used with a noun that expresses prediction, will, determination or ability, and is not an established fact. E.g. 나는 오늘 안에 밀린 일을 다 해 놓을 것이다. ('해 놓을' to complete) I am going to have caught up on all errands today.

-을  The most common uses of this as a postposition is when the noun is the object, e.g. 밥을 먹다.

지 않- and  -습 is the correct combination here.

-입니다 is used after a noun.

Work isn't busy today. You may leave early.

2) 면 안 되다.

직업에서 공부면 안 됩니다. 일하면서 공부하면 안 됩니다. This sentence would mean 'You cannot study and work at the same time.' 공부하다 is used as a verb here. If you want to use it as a noun, you could try: 공부를 직장에서 하면 안 됩니다. ('직장' workplace)

Studying at work is not allowed.

차로 운전하면서 먹으면 안 됩니다. ✓

Eating is not allowed while driving your car.

과자를 영화관에 가져오면 안 돼요. ✓

You're not allowed to bring snacks to the movie theater.

3) -지 않아도 되다

공원에 오지않아도 돼요. Put a space between 오지 and  않아도.

You don't have to come to the park.

치킨을 주문할 거예요, 점심을 만들지 않아도 돼요. ✓

I'll order chicken, you don't have to make lunch.

무게 얻었어요, 제가 후식를 먹지 않아도 돼요. You can use a full stop instead of a comma.

Yes, you can say 무게 얻었어요. It sounds unnatural, though, so 살 졌어요 is correct.

제가 or 저는? Which one fits in here? -가  gives emphasis to 'I' -는 compares one with another. 저는 후식을 먹지 않아도 돼요.
I gained weight, I don't have to eat dessert.
