📖 Sentence of the Day
“Having completed the assignment early, she decided to spend the evening watching her favorite series.”
🇰🇷 한국어 번역
“과제를 일찍 끝낸 후, 그녀는 저녁에 좋아하는 시리즈를 보기로 결심했다.”
📝 Grammar Breakdown / 문법 설명
English
“Having completed” is a perfect participle construction, showing that the first action (completing) was fully done before the second action (deciding). This is different from “Completing the assignment” (which just shows simultaneous or prior action). The subject of both verbs must be the same — “she.”
한국어
“Having completed”는 완료 분사 구문으로, 첫 번째 행동(완료하기)이 두 번째 행동(결심하기) 전에 완전히 끝났음을 보여줍니다. 이것은 단순히 동시 또는 선행 행동을 보여주는 “Completing the assignment”와 다릅니다. 두 동사의 주어는 반드시 같아야 합니다 — “she.”
