Beginner’s Korean Particles Quiz: 은/는, 이/가, 을/를, 에/에서, 에게

 

Learning Korean particles can be tough, especially when they all sound so similar at first. What’s the difference between 은/는 and 이/가? When should you use 에 versus 에서?

If you're a beginner or still confused by these tiny but powerful words, this video quiz is for you! 💡

In today’s video, I’ll quiz you on 5 essential Korean particles:

  • 은/는 (topic marker)

  • 이/가 (subject marker)

  • 을/를 (object marker)

  • 에 / 에서 (location/time vs. action location)

  • 에게 (to someone)

You'll be given real-life sentence examples with a blank, and your challenge is to choose the correct particle. 🎯 Don’t worry—answers and explanations follow each question so you can learn and correct yourself right away!

 


🎯 Why Are Particles So Important in Korean?

In Korean, word order is more flexible than English, and particles are what give meaning to each word’s role in a sentence. That’s why mastering particles early on will make a huge difference in your Korean fluency.

But particles are also one of the most common points of confusion for learners. Many beginners overuse 은/는, mix up 에 and 에서, or forget to use 에게 when giving something to someone.

This quiz will help reinforce those subtle but important differences.
