(으)ㄹ 동안 period of time in future In my textbook we are given 3 usages of 동안: 는 동안, 명사 동안 and (으)ㄹ 동안. While I do understand first two, I have a question about latter. 기다리실 동안 이 잡지를 보세요. When you will be waiting... 한국에 계실 동안 친구를 많이 사귀세요. When you will be staying... Does it mean that person is not yet waiting/staying, but will in future? I could find any info about (으)ㄹ 동안, so I'm not sure if it even can be used. Is there any limitations? Does it have to be used with imperative?

처럼 in negative sentences In my textbook, I came across a couple of negative sentences with 처럼 in them. 나는 아직 영어를 우리 아버지처럼 잘 못 한다 소주가 보드카처럼 세지 않다 In regular sentences, 처럼 is translated as "like". So, in negative sentences it will become "unlike"? 나는 아직 영어를 우리 아버지처럼 잘 못 한다 will mean that 우리 아버지 영어를 잘 한다, but unlike him 나는 아직 영어를 잘 못 한다. What if I want to say that "Just like my father, I also cannot speak English." Wouldn't it be the same sentence? Can I still use 처럼?

Correct way to combine grammar endings? I want to combine following sentences using polite (으)시 and grammatical construction -기도 하고- 기도 하다 할머님께서 한여름에 더위를 잘 타신다. 한겨울에 추위를 잘 타신다. Which way is a correct: 1) 더위를 타시기도 하고 추위를 타시기도 한다 2) 더위를 타기도 하시고 추위를 타기도 하신다 3) 더위를 타기도 하고 추위를 타기도 하신다 Next sentence combines negative -지 않다 and 으려고 하다 1) 전보를 기다리지 않으려고 해요. 2) 전보를 기다리려고 하지 않아요. 1) 전보를 안 기다리려고 해요. Is there any rule that defines a combination of grammar constructions? I was told that polite (으)시 always comes at farmost last verb.

Adverbs For some words, there is most common form, like for 좋다, 많다, most common form are 좋게 and 많이, but you can find forms like 좋이 and 많게. My question is about the verbs that have both forms 히 and 게. In my textbook, it says that quite ofter 게 can be loosely translated into the situation 'to do smth to have a certain state/condition appear'. I cannot find any info, but I feel like 히 is used where the conditions/state already present, and 게 where it is not yet, where you do smth to make the state appear. For example: 분명히 - 어떤 것을 분명히 알아요. (I already know smth, the state is already present) 분명하게 - 분명하게 설명해 줄게요 (condition is not yet there, but it will be ) 정확히 - 정확히 들었어요/봤어요 (I already heard/saw smth correctly) 정확하게 - 발음을 정확하게 하세요 (condition is not yet there, but it will be or I want it to be) So I feel like 히 is used for past and present conditions, and 게 is used for future or desirable conditions. Correct me where I am wrong.

아/어/여 주다 + 지 마세요 ? If I want to ask politely not to do something, how can I combine 지 마세요 and 아/어/여 주다? I can make a sentence 선생님, 제 동생의 숙제를 검토하지 마세요. But how can I add 아/어/여 주다? 선생님, 제 동생의 숙제를 검토해 주지 마세요. (I feel like I ask not to do smth that can benefit 제 동생) 선생님, 제 동생의 숙제를 검토하지 말아 주세요. (Here I feel like if teacher didn't check homework it will benefit me) Are both of these sentences correct?

에 or 으로? 에 or 에서? 1) As far as I understand, 에 marks a place where certain action can be made or goal achieved and 으로 marks the general direction of movement. But I have a feeling that with verbs 가다, 오다, etc. I most commonly see 으로 rather than 에, like 집으로 놀러 와 디마 씨, 도서관으로 가십시오. 안나 씨, 다음주에 우리 집으로 오십시오. While in the first sentence it could be that library is a direction, but in the second it is the destination point. What is the difference in use of 에/으로 with verbs 가다, 오다, etc? 2) Reading a textbook I came across next sentences: 나무에서 새싹이 돋습니다 and 나무에는 새싹이 돋습니다. If I consider that 돋습니다 is action, I understand why is it 나무에서, but can you really take the tree as a place where an action happens? And also, can 'blooming' be considered as an action?

Adjectives in sentence From sentence with a direct object, I can make two sentences with adjectives, like: 민호가 의자를 만들었요. 민호가 만든 의자(는 좋지 않아요). 그 의자를 만든 민호 (에게 돈을 주었어요). In sentences with dative particle 에게/에게서, like 친구한테서 선물을 받았어요. I can only make one sentence 친구한테서 받은 선물(이 너무 예뻐요). If I want to talk about a friend, from whom I got the present, I can make a sentence with similar meaning, but with different words, like: 이 선물을 준 친구(가 러시아 사람이에요). Is there a way to make opposite sentence without changing words? 2) If I want to combine two sentences into a more complex one, but I use the polite form of a verb or a verb with polite particle (으)시, do I keep them in an adjective form? 선생님이 감기에 걸리셨어요. 그 선생님은 전에 건강하셨어요. 전에 건강하시던(건강한?) 선생님은 감기에 걸리셨어요. 감기에 걸리신(걸린?) 선생님이 전에 건강하셨어요.

Comma after 고 When there should be comma after 고 in complex sentences? Most of the time I don't see commas at all 저는 TV를 보고, 오빠는 음악을 들어요. 김치는 맵고, 밥은 싱거워요. 우리는 모르는 단어를 외우고, 문장을 만들고, 본문을 읽어요.
