Question

Omitting particles when connecting verbs?
"누워 커피를 마시다"
"계획을 세워 떠나다"

I recently came across these sentences and was wondering why there are no particles such as ~서 or ~고.

Answer

The particle '어' is already included.
눕다 -> 누우 + 어 = 누워
세우다 -> 세우 + 어 = 세워

Answer

Just what I was looking for! Thanks a bunch ^^

Answer

I assume you mean as a conjunction with the verbs 눕다 and 세우다? There's a simple connector: 아/어 which is kind of like -고 but has a different feel. It's best if you read this: http://www.howtostudykorean.com/unit-3-intermediate-korean-grammar/lessons-67-75/lesson-70/
