LEVEL 5 LESSON 19

In this lesson, we are looking at how to use the structure “Verb + -(으)라고 + Verb” .

Through our previous lessons, we have learned that -(으)라고, -ㄴ/은/는다고, etc. are used for

quoting what something is called or what someone said. And today, let us look at how -(으)라

고 is used after a verb to make a quoted imperative statement.

Conjugation

Verb stems ending with a vowel + -라고 + 하다/말하다/쓰다/듣다/etc.

Ex) 보다 → 보라고 하다/말하다/쓰다/듣다/etc.

Verb stems ending with a last consonant + -(으)라고 + 하다/말하다/쓰다/듣다/etc.

Ex) 먹다 → 먹으라고 하다/말하다/쓰다/듣다/etc.

Examples

보다 (= to see)

→ 보라고 하다 = to tell (someone) to look at (something)

먹다 (= to eat)

→ 먹으라고 말하다 = to tell (someone) to eat (something)

앉다 (= to sit)

→ 앉으라고 하다 = to tell (someone) to sit down
