N도
Title: Using "N도" to Express Inclusion or Addition
Grammar Explanation:
The particle "도" in Korean is analogous to the English words "also," "too," or "as well." It is used to add or list subjects, objects, or other elements in a sentence, indicating that the element it follows shares a characteristic or action with a previously mentioned element.
Key Points:
Subjects and Objects: When "도" is used with subjects or objects, it replaces the subject or object particles (은/는, 이/가, 을/를). For example, "나는" becomes "나도," and "사과를" changes to "사과도."
With Other Particles: In cases where "도" is used with other types of particles like location or direction particles, the original particle is retained along with "도". For example, "미국에" becomes "미국에도," not "미국도."
