3.2 챕터에서는 미래형에 대해 배웠다.
여러가지 형태의 미래형과 그들을 사용하는 규칙에 대해서 배웠는데,
문제는 규칙따위 들으면 다 알고 있는 내용이고 새로울 것이 별로 없는데
실제로 말하거나 글을 쓸때는 그 규칙이 적용이 잘 되지 않는다는 것이다.
비록, 모든 미래시제를 will로 쓰는 수준은 아니지만,
아직도 might, would, be going to 등을 시의 적절하게 사용하는데는
어려움이 있는 것이 사실이다.
알긴 아는데 머뭇거리지 않고 입에서 그냥 자연스럽게 나오려면,
결국 부단한 연습에 연습을 해야하는 것 같다.
지난 수업시간 끝 무렵에 미래시제 관련된 질문이 적힌 보드게임 종이를 집으로 가져와서
거기 나와있는 질문의 일부분에 대해 나 스스로 집에서 답을 작성해 보았다.
그리고 다음 시간에 원어민 선생님께 첨삭을 부탁했는데,
나의 예상과 달리 미래형 시제를 틀리게 쓴 것은 하나도 없었는데
문제는 (늘 문제지만) 결국, 관사와 전치사 였다. OTL=3.
빨간색이 선생님이 첨삭해 주신 내용이다.
정말 관사와 전치사는 언제나 나를 괴롭히는구나.
걔들에 대한 직관력은 전혀 향상되지 않는 기분. ㅠ.ㅜ
