You said the meeting place was here — why is it just us?

You said this wasn't something you did — why are you changing your story now?

Since Seunggyu was about to sit on the floor, I brought him a cushion.

Since no one was willing to do this, I just said I'd do it.

Since the child was about to put a dirty toy in their mouth, I took it away, and they started crying.

Looking at the clear sky, it seems it won't rain today.

It seems Seunggyu is going to eat ramen instead of rice again today.

The reason Jisu's grades dropped is because she often hung out playing with friends.

I didn't know Seunggyu was that smart, but I found out after seeing his presentation today.

I don't know why Jisu intends to go study abroad.

Do you know who Seunggyu intends to meet?

I don't know when he intends to wash his hands.

Where do you intend to stay?

I figured that since I'm the senior, I probably should help my junior, so I called them.

I think this time, you're probably the one who should give in.

Seunggyu didn't answer the question, just kept smiling.

I always just walked past the bakery in front of my house, but today I stopped in and bought some bread.

Just looking at children's smiling faces makes me happy.

Since it was a rare day off, among other things, I went shopping with friends.

Seunggyu looked outside and, since it seemed cold, among other reasons, picked out thick clothes to wear.

Yumin had no appetite, among other reasons, so she decided to just skip lunch.

The child put on new clothes and ran around excitedly.

Jisu, who overslept, ate breakfast in a hurry and rushed off to work.

An old man who looked like the landlord opened the gate and asked why I had come.

Since Seunggyu and I have been friends since childhood, I used to visit his house often.

Whenever I feel down, I tend to listen to music.

People often recall memories from decades ago through a scent.

There's no rice, so it looks like I'm going to have to skip dinner.

Because it suddenly started raining, it looks like we can't go on the picnic.

It's so loud because of the construction next door that it looks like I can't study.

If you keep hiding even small things, the secret is bound to get bigger and bigger.

I think those people will probably come this way soon too.

I'm thinking maybe I'll just rest at home today.

I'm thinking maybe I'll start exercising starting tomorrow.

I'm thinking maybe I'll go watch a movie this weekend.

It was a story moving enough to bring tears to my eyes.

It was close enough for my hand to reach.

I ran fast enough to run out of breath.

The moment the door opened, people came pouring out.

He's a student and, at the same time, also an office worker.

The moment the presentation ended, loud applause broke out.

It seems the child has already fallen asleep.

It seems that many people have already seen that movie.

It seemed like the rain had stopped, so I closed my umbrella.

Even though I didn't know the answer, I pretended to know it.

He pretended to listen to me while continuing to think about something else.

I was tired but pretended to be fine and smiled.

Just assemble it in order, exactly as I explained.

It was the exact same view today as I saw yesterday.

Luckily, everything went exactly as planned.

That restaurant always has so many people that no matter when you go, you can only eat after waiting about an hour.

Seunggyu only went to bed after finally finishing preparing for the next day's presentation.

Mom only relaxes after all of us have come home.

Now that I've started exercising, I should also manage my diet to really take care of my health.

Since the topic came up, I heard you were honest about how you really felt?

Now that I've thought of it, let's just get all the overdue work done.

This medicine is really bitter, you know.

That's not my thing, you know.

Now that the heater's off, it's actually pretty cold in the office.

She was laughing a while ago, and now she's crying.

Since a friend was coming, I bought coffee.

Since I was so hungry, I made ramen.

Because I missed the bus, I was late.

Because it rained, the picnic was canceled.

Because my phone broke, I couldn't get in touch.

This restaurant is not only delicious but also cheap.

He's not only smart but also diligent.

Korean is not only fun but also useful.

That store is expensive, and on top of that, not even friendly.

Today I'm busy, and on top of that, it's raining too.

He's good at singing, and on top of that, good at dancing too.

Even though he's busy, he always smiles.

These clothes are pretty and also comfortable.

Even though I knew, I pretended not to.

For a beginner, you're doing well.

For winter, the weather is warm.

For this price, the quality is good.

Due to heavy rain, the event was canceled.

Because of a traffic accident, the road was congested.

Because of a mistake, I suffered a loss.

I'll contact you as soon as I arrive.

I did exactly as I was told.

Do as you wish.

It is tasty, but it's too expensive.

I do know, but I'm not sure.

I understand, but I can't agree.

Since it rained a lot, the road was flooded.

Since I'm late, I need to hurry.

Since you violated the rule, you must pay a fine.

Since I was at the mart anyway, I also bought milk.

While cleaning, I also wiped the windows.

Since we're here anyway, let's take some photos.

Whether I ask or not, the answer is obvious.

Whether you say it or not, it's useless.

Whether you go or not, the result will be the same.

Because the kids were being noisy, I couldn't sleep.

Because it was raining, the picnic was canceled.

Because people were crowding in, I was frazzled.

These days I tend to oversleep.

He tends to break promises.

Because I was busy, I often skipped breakfast.

Judging by the fact that he's taking an umbrella, it seems like it's raining.

Judging by the smile, he must be in a good mood.

Judging by the lights being off, everyone must be asleep.

Your skill will improve as much as you make an effort.

It's as good in quality as it is expensive.

The result was as good as the preparation I put in.

Because I overslept, I was late for school.

Because of the traffic, I was late for the appointment.

Because I didn't prepare, I bombed the exam.

Looking at the sky, it seems like it's about to snow.

Judging by his expression, it seems like he's angry.

It looks like people are standing in line.

I didn't know he could cook this well.

I didn't know the exam would be this hard.

I didn't know it would rain today.

I thought today was a holiday.

I thought you had already arrived.

I thought that movie would be fun.

I came out for a walk, to also get some fresh air.

I went to Busan, to also meet a friend.

I bought a bike, to also get some exercise.

There's no way he would lie.

There's no way I couldn't solve such an easy problem.

There's no way she forgot the promise.

Since I had no money, I had no choice but to walk.

Since it's raining, I have no choice but to buy an umbrella.

Since I was sick, I had no choice but to go to the hospital.

It's so spicy that it makes my eyes water.

I laughed so hard my stomach hurt.

It's so loud you can't hear voices.

I'll cook, so you clean.

I'll arrive soon, so please wait a bit.

It'll probably rain, so bring an umbrella.

I should have brought an umbrella.

I should have prepared earlier.

I should have apologized back then.

Mom told me to go to sleep early.

The teacher told me to do the homework again.

The doctor told me to drink a lot of water.

I was about to watch a movie, but ended up just sleeping.

I was about to call, but sent a text instead.

I was about to go outside, but it started raining so I stopped.

I was just about to call you.

I was just about to head out too.

I was just about to eat.

He walked while singing a song.

This product is light, sturdy, and cheap.

The meeting starts at 2 PM and ends at 3 PM.

I might be a bit late today — I have a lot of work, you see.

I can't eat spicy food, you know.

This is actually something I made.

Want to go together? Of course I'll go!

Is it delicious? Of course it's delicious.

Can you help me? Of course I can help.

Once you actually try it, it's easier than you think.

Once you actually live there, you'll come to like the city.

Once you actually meet him, he's a good person.

You're good at this! Oh, not really.

You're pretty. Oh, not really.

Thank you! Oh, no need to thank me.

All you have to do is press this button.

All you have to do is submit the application.

As long as you practice, your skill improves.

These shoes are uncomfortable for walking.

Today is good weather for a picnic.

This movie is scary for kids to watch.

I pretended not to know.

He pretends not to hear.

Don't pretend to be sick.

On weekends, I do things like reading books or watching movies.

To relieve stress, I do things like exercising or singing.

If I do things like take a walk or listen to music, I feel better.

My friend said they're coming tomorrow.

The news says it'll rain today.

Mom said that movie was fun.

You mean you're moving tomorrow?

I said I'm really fine.

You mean it's already all over?

If you won the lottery, what would you want to do?

If I had time, I'd want to travel.

If you were born again, what kind of person would you want to be?

My friend asked me if I had eaten.

Mom asked when I would come.

The teacher asked if this problem was difficult.

I couldn't sleep because I was busy doing homework.

I couldn't open the door because I was busy answering the phone.

I was busy all day packing.

A call came while I was in the middle of driving.

There was a power outage in the middle of the meeting.

I was in the middle of eating when a guest came.

I stopped by the mart on the way home.

I bought coffee on the way to work.

I met a friend on the way to school.

Thanks to my friend helping, it finished early.

Thanks to my teacher, my Korean skill improved.

Thanks to the good weather, the trip was fun.

It rained while I was sleeping.

A call came while I briefly went to the bathroom.

Did something happen while I was away?

If you're not careful, you can get hurt.

Even experts can make mistakes.

This medicine can have side effects.

Since the road is blocked, there's no choice but to walk.

Since there's no other way, there's nothing to do but wait.

Now that it's come to this, there's no choice but to continue.

As I kept practicing, my skill improved.

As I walked every day, I lost weight.

As we kept talking, it became night.

If you keep trying steadily, you'll succeed.

If you keep practicing, you'll get good at it.

As you live, there will inevitably be hard days too.

I found that movie really sad.

There were more people than I expected.

I met him after a long time, and I noticed he hadn't changed at all.

I met him yesterday, and he looked really tired.

That restaurant was really delicious, I remember.

There were really a lot of people there.

I noticed it was really cold today.

I found that person kinder than I expected.

I noticed a new cafe had opened.

Even if it's hard, I'll try to see it through.

Even if I fail, I won't regret it.

Even if it rains, we'll go on the picnic.

This is the neighborhood I used to live in as a child.

The coffee I was drinking yesterday is still left.

I ran into a friend I used to be close with.

Was that movie fun, do you recall?

Were there a lot of people there, do you remember?

What was the weather like back then, I wonder?

It was cold yesterday, I recall, but today is fine.

That person seemed busy — will they have time, I wonder?

It was there a moment ago, but now it's gone.

This copy isn't as good as the original.

A hundred words aren't as good as one action.

My skill these days isn't as good as it used to be.

Maybe because it's cold, there aren't many people around.

Maybe because I exercised after a long time, my whole body hurts.

Maybe because I'm getting older, I get tired easily.

I think I was young back then.

I think I've been here before.

I think that person had a hard time too.

This novel was written by a famous author.

Many problems were solved by technological advancement.

That bridge collapsed due to the storm.

My friend suggested we watch a movie together.

My coworker suggested we have lunch together.

The team leader suggested we have the meeting again.

Even my friend left me.

I don't even have money, and now I don't have time either.

It's even raining, and on top of that the wind is blowing hard.

You have no idea how surprised I was.

You have no idea how hard that exam was.

Do you know how long I waited?

I'm so busy I don't even have time to eat.

He didn't even look at me.

I don't even remember the name.

It seems like it's raining outside.

That person seemed to already know the answer.

It seems like the meeting will end soon.

Even if we leave now, it's obvious we'll be late.

If you say it that way, it's obvious they'll get angry.

If you go without preparation, it's obvious you'll fail.

I have to submit the report by tomorrow.

You absolutely must keep your promises.

For your health, you have to exercise.

I booked the tickets in advance before going on the trip.

Please keep important documents stored separately.

Since a guest is coming, I cleaned the room in advance.

I took the medicine, and I got a bit better.

I opened the window, and a cool breeze came in.

I went to sleep early, so I feel good today.

I would like to take this opportunity to express my thanks.

We held a meeting in order to solve the problem.

I checked again in order to give accurate information.

Please explain it simply so that everyone can understand.

I helped in a way that let the child do it alone.

I left early so that I wouldn't be late.

I heard vacation starts tomorrow.

I heard grandma is coming soon.

I heard my younger sibling eats spicy food well.

So what I'm saying is, I can't come tomorrow.

It means we have to do it again in the end.

This means we won.

I was glad I could rest even if just for a moment.

Even if it's just a little money, I want to help.

I wanted to comfort them, even if just with words.

Whether it rains or snows, I'm going out.

Whether you go or I go, someone has to go.

Whether you eat it or not, do as you like.

He has various talents, such as singing, and so on.

At the travel destination, we had a great time, such as taking photos, and so on.

At the meeting, we discussed several matters, such as budget issues, and so on.

I'll go buy something to drink, like coffee or tea.

Should we watch something together, like a movie or a show?

On weekends, I often do things like hiking or fishing.

I know how to drive.

I don't know how to swim.

Do you know how to make kimchi stew?

I tend to eat a lot when I'm stressed.

These days, young people tend to marry later.

This company's products tend to be expensive.

I intend to save money and buy a house.

This time, I intend to see it through to the end.

I intend to quit my job and go traveling.

The moment I opened the door, the dog ran out.

The moment I first saw him, I felt something special.

The moment I started the presentation, I suddenly got nervous.

As soon as he opened the door, a cold wind came in.

As soon as the bell rang, the students left the classroom.

As soon as the presentation ended, people applauded.

I'm debating whether to buy this clothing or not.

I haven't decided yet where to travel.

I'm not sure whether this answer is correct.

Just take me, for example — I drink three cups of coffee a day.

Just 10 years ago, there were no smartphones.

Just this one bag alone is half my salary.

Not to mention English, he's also good at Chinese.

Not to mention the taste, this restaurant's service is also good.

Not to mention weekends, it's crowded on weekdays too.

I'm starving to death.

It's so hot today, I could die.

I have so much homework, it's killing me.

As a result of working diligently, Jisu was able to get promoted.

Passing the exam is the result of studying hard.

As a result of spending money without a plan, a month's allowance ran out in just a week.
