How to Use 조사 in Conversation
As a noun, 조사 can be the subject (with 이/가 particle) or object (with 을/를) of a sentence. Korean nouns do not change form for number or gender, so the same word covers singular and plural. Pay attention to the particle that follows — it shifts the entire meaning of the sentence.
