When you hear gossip, do you spread it around or keep silent about it?
<내가 쓴 글>
When I hear gossip, I keep silent about it. The reason why I do so is that I don't want talking about the person who is not there. And if I hear something about me from others then it would make me feel very bad. So I don't spread gossip that I've heard to others. I know they feel same with me. Let's not talk others who are not there. It's very interesting to talk about others if it is bad things more. But if it goes to that person it would make him feel very bad. I don't like to do like that. But we can talk about the gossip about celebrates or politicians. Because there are so many interesting news about them. Talking them according to the news is very interesting. But I know it is only when I talk them badly. How bad it is talking about others when they are not there. But there are so many interesting stories about celebrates and politicians. We can talk them freely because they are not related with us directly. However we have to be very careful to say others who are related with us directly.

Because” is a subordinating conjunction. A subordinating conjunction is a word that joins two clauses, one of which is independent and one of which is dependent. I know that’s a lot of jargon, but basically what we’re looking at is this: we have a sentence with two parts, and “because” joins them together. The two parts have to be in the same sentence for the use of “because” to be “correct”. Otherwise, one of the clauses becomes a sentence fragment, which is a problem.
subordinating conjunction 종속접속사. 종속절을 이끄는 접속사.
jargon 은어
fragment 파편, 조각
아하 because는 종속접속사, 즉 종속절을 이끄는 접속사이므로 반드시 문장이 두개여야하는구나. 그러니까 즉 because를 따로 뚝 떼어 문장을 쓰면 안된다는 말이구나. 마침표 안에 두 개의 문장 중 종속절을 이끄는 접속사가 because. 외우자. 절대 따로 쓰면 안돼.
The reason you can’t usually start a sentence with “because” is because the sentence needs two parts for because to join together. Usually, “because” goes in between the two clauses, so if we start a sentence with “because” there is often only one clause in the sentence. Put simply, if “because” is in a sentence, the sentence needs two parts to be “correct”. Let’s look at an example.
Because로 문장을 시작하면 안되는 거야. 그런데 난 종종 Because로 시작했지. 그건 한 문장 중에 들어가야하는 거야. 꼭 기억하자. because는 종속접속사. 반드시 종속절이 있어야되는 거야.
We decided to go to the pool because it was hot outside.
The two clauses we are looking at are “We decided to go to the pool” and “it was hot outside”. “Because” links them together and makes them friends. Let’s look at what would happen if we were to split the sentence up into two.
We decided to go to the pool. Because it was hot outside.
Now that the two clauses are in different sentences, “because” can’t really join them together. The clauses can’t be friends and now they’re lonely, making the second sentence “incorrect.”
아하. 예문으로 확실히 알겠다. Because를 뚝 떼어놓으면 이상한 문장이 되어버리는구나. 날이 더워서 풀장에 가기로 했다가 옳은 문장인데 이걸 마침표로 뚝 떼어놓으면 풀장가기로 했다와 왜냐하면 날이 더워서가 서로 연결될 방법이 없다이거구나. 그래 주절과 종속절은 꼭 마침표가 끝나기 전 한 문장으로 엮어주기로 한다.
COMMA USE
1. Use commas to separate independent clauses when they are joined by any of these seven coordinating conjunctions: and, but, for, or, nor, so, yet.
7개의 등위접속사. 즉 and, but, for, or, nor, so, yet 가 있을때 문장을 독립시키기위해 반드시 콤마를 써준다.
coordinating conjunctions 등위(대등)접속사
The game was over, but the crowd refused to leave.
The student explained her question, yet the instructor still didn't seem to understand.
Yesterday was her brother's birthday, so she took him out to dinner.
2. Use commas after introductory a) clauses, b) phrases, or c) words that come before the main clause.
본 문장이 오기 전 서두의 절이나 구절이나 단어들 뒤에 반드시 콤마를 찍어줄 것. 아하.
a. Common starter words for introductory clauses that should be followed by a comma include after, although, as, because, if, since, when, while.
after, although, as, because, if, since, when, while. 요런 것들로 시작되는 절에는 반드시 콤마를 찍어줄 것.
While I was eating, the cat scratched at the door.
Because her alarm clock was broken, she was late for class.
If you are ill, you ought to see a doctor.
When the snow stops falling, we'll shovel the driveway.
However, don't put a comma after the main clause when a dependent (subordinate) clause follows it (except for cases of extreme contrast).
subordinate 종속된
dependent 의존하는
아하 그러니까 dependent clause 랑 subordinate clause 모두 종속절을 말하는구나. 그러니까 반드시 콤마를 찍어야하지만 주절이 먼저 오고 뒤에 종속절이 올 때는 콤마를 붙이지 않는구나. 아하.
INCORRECT: The cat scratched at the door, while I was eating.
CORRECT: She was still quite upset, although she had won the Oscar. (This comma use is correct, because it is an example of extreme contrast.)
아하. 주절이 앞에 오면 콤마가 필요 없구나. The cat scratched at the door while I was eating. 아하 요렇게.
그러나 극심한 대비일 땐 콤마를 써주라고! 극심한 대비가 바로 요런 문장이구나. She was still quite upset, although she had won the Oscar.
b. Common introductory phrases that should be followed by a comma include participial and infinitive phrases, absolute phrases, nonessential appositive phrases, and long prepositional phrases (over four words).
introductory 서두
participial 분사
infinitive phrases 부정사구
absolute phrases 독립구
nonessential appositive phr... 형용사구
long prepositional phrases 긴 전치사구
분사구, 부정사구, 독립구, 형용사구, 긴 전치사구 뒤에는 반드시 콤마를 써줄 것!

To get a seat, you'd better come early.
After the test but before lunch, I went jogging.
The sun radiating intense heat, we sought shelter in the cafe.
넵. 사용된 예문들 잘 봤습니다. 콤마를 반드시 찍겠습니다.
c. Common introductory words that should be followed by a comma include yes, however, well.
넵! yes, however, well 뒤에는 반드시 콤마를 찍겠습니다.
Well, perhaps he meant no harm.
Yes, the package should arrive tomorrow morning.
