은/는 이/가 Exercise

은/는 이/가 exercise

A lot of beginner learners are confused about the difference between 이가 and 은는 so I have prepared a short exercise to reinforce this concept. If you are feeling confused, don’t worry because you are definitely not alone. This is one of the questions most often asked by beginning learners of Korean and it is one of the topics that I myself find challenging as well. Even Koreans wrote thesis on this topic. There are no straightforward principles to explain the difference and it definitely cannot be explained in terms of two or three rules, but a more complex interplay of principles apply. Therefore the only way to master it is to be continuously exposed to real life usage examples of 이/가 and 은/는 and develop an almost instinctive sense of it. It is also important to do more exercises like the below one and try making up sentences with 이/가 and 은/는 yourself.

I have another post which details the multiple principles governing the difference in usage of 이/가 and 은/는 which you may also find useful.
