Why do you think iPhones are the most popular phone in the world?

1. 내가 쓴 글

I don't think that iPhones are the most popular phone in the world. Therefore I can't answer it in the above question. I don't know about iPhones well. I don't have any words that I can say about iPhones because of the reasons that I explained in the above. However, I can tell you my elder son, who is working in the United States, uses the iPhone. He majored in Computer Science, and the fact that he uses the iPhone instead of Samsung Galaxy unit means that iPhones are the more popular than Samsung. However, I will use Samsung Galaxy forever even though my son suggests to use the iPhone saying it's better than Samsung unit. Why? I am a Korean and I am very familiar with Samsung galaxy series which I have used for about many years. I don't have much knowledge about iPhones, so I don't have anything to tell you about it. However, I can find more people, who are young, using iPhones than Samsung galaxy. It makes me only guess that iPhones are the most popular phone in the world. However still I don't agree with it. Samsung galaxy unit is the best to me.

5. 삼성 갤럭시 앞에 관사!!! 단수면 정관사 아니면 부정관사 반드시 붙일 것! instead of (the) Samsung Galaxy unit

6. 그렇다고 아무 데나 관사 붙이는 거 아니다. 왜 the more popular 이 되느냐. 그냥 more popular thatn Samsung... 면 되지.

10. 이거 which 아니고 that이지. 조심했어야 했다. that 이하를 빼면 말이 안 되잖아. 내가 수년간 써 온 삼성갤럭시이니까인데 왜 which를 썼을까? 빼선 안될 문장은 반드시 that을 쓰고 콤마 없이 이어 쓴다. 그러나 빼도 되는 문장엔 which를 쓰고 그리고 반드시 콤마를 쓴다. 난 콤마도 안 찍고 which를 썼으니 거기부터 잘못되었다.

11. many years앞에 about은 필요 없구나. 하긴 대략 수년간이라는 뜻으로 about을 썼는데 many years라는 것 자체가 그냥 수년간 아니겠는가. 고쳐준 좋은 문장을 기억하자. I am very familiar with the Samsung Galaxy series that I have used for many years.

However, I can find more people, who are young, using iPhones than Samsung g(G)alaxy.

13. only를 함부로 붙이지 말자. 단지 그것만 생각하게 했다고 해서 붙였는데 그러는 거 아닌가 보다. 하하.

It makes me guess that iPhones are the most popular phone in the world.

However(,) still I (I still) don't agree with it.

14. However 다음에 반드시 콤마!!!

15. still은 주어와 동사 사이에 들어가야 하는구나. However, I still don't agree with it.

(The) Samsung g(G)alaxy unit is the best to me.

16. 삼성 갤럭시 앞에 The 붙이고, 첫 문자 대문자로 쓰기!!! The Samsung Galaxy unit is the best to me.

4. 그리고 딸려온 특별 멘트.

Notes:

VERB: suggest

SUGGEST patterns:

= suggest + [gerund (verb~ing)]
= suggest + [noun] + [base form of the verb]
= suggest + that + [noun] + [base form of the verb]

Examples:
I suggest going to the internet cafe.
I suggest you go to the internet cafe.
I suggest that you go to the internet cafe.

17. 아, 이거 지난번에도 지적받았는데 또 틀렸다. 아이고. 잘 기억하자. suggest는 명사가 오거나 명사랑 동사 원형이 오거나 that과 명사와 동사원형이 오는 세 가지 패턴이 있을 뿐이다. 기억하자 문장 자체로. I suggest going to the internet cafe. I suggest you go to the internet cafe. I suggest that you go to the internet cafe.

that vs. which (American English)

That - limits the meaning of the word it modifies and is important to get the meaning of the sentence. Since it contains important information, it is not set off with commas:

I like the bag that my father gave me.

The office that has two conference rooms is closed today.

Which - When the clause contains unimportant or additional information, it can be set off with commas. If you remove a clause with which from a sentence, the meaning does not change significantly.

(CORRECT) There was an earthquake in Japan, which is bad news.

Let us try removing the “which” clause:

(STILL CORRECT) There was an earthquake in Japan.

(CORRECT) Our office, which has two conference rooms, is located in Toronto.

Let us try removing the “which” clause:

(STILL CORRECT) Our office is located in Toronto.

18. 맞다. 여러 번 지적받은 which와 that! 이젠 틀리지 말아야지. which는 있어도 그만 없어도 그만인 거. 콤마를 써준다. that은 없어지면 뜻 자체가 달라져버리는 꼭 있어야 될 것. 콤마 없이 쓴다.
