SCENE 01 / 04

A chore chart on the fridge

Mrs. Park puts up a chore chart. Yuki is ready to help, while Junho is less enthusiastic. Everyone has a part to play.

Mrs. Park explains the chore chart to Yuki, Minji, and Junho in the kitchen; original Episode 06 artwork.

Mrs. Park

자, 모두 와요! 오늘부터 하숙집 규칙이에요!

Okay, everyone, gather round! Starting today, we have house rules!

Minji

엄마, 이게 뭐예요?

Mom, what's this?

Mrs. Park

집안일 표예요. 모두 같이 해요. 청소, 설거지, 빨래!

It's a chore chart. Everybody pitches in. Cleaning, dishes, laundry!

SCENE 02 / 04

Still waiting outside the bathroom

Junho takes a long time in the bathroom. When Yuki finally gets in, the toothpaste is gone and other essentials are missing too.

Yuki holds a towel and calls to Junho through the bathroom door; original Episode 06 artwork.

Yuki

준호 씨! 아직이에요? 저도 세수해요! 양치질도 해요!

Junho! Still not done? I need to wash my face and brush my teeth too!

Yuki

어? 치약이 없어요! 준호 씨가 다 썼어요?

Huh? There's no toothpaste! Did you use it all up, Junho?

Mrs. Park

아이고, 시끄러워요! 그럼 동네 목욕탕에 가요! 거기에서 씻어요!

Goodness, so noisy! Then go to the neighborhood bathhouse! Wash up there!

SCENE 03 / 04

A broken washer, a helping hand

The washing machine beeps and will not work. Junho cannot fix it, so Mrs. Park suggests handwashing and a cleaner for the coat. Minji helps Yuki fold the clothes.

Yuki looks worried beside the washing machine that will not work; original Episode 06 artwork.

Yuki · to herself

어? 왜 안 돼요? 고장이에요? 전기가 안 들어와요?

Huh? Why isn't it working? Is it broken? Is there no power?

Yuki

준호 씨, 부탁이에요. 세탁기가 안 돼요!

Junho, I need a favor. The washing machine doesn't work!

Minji

유키 씨, 같이 해요. 옷은 이렇게 접어요. 반으로, 또 반으로!

Yuki, let's do it together. Fold clothes like this: in half, then in half again!

SCENE 04 / 04

A home that shines again

On the weekend, everyone tackles a different job: windows, desks, and paper scraps on the floor. An hour later, the house is clean again.

Yuki and Mrs. Park smile in the clean living room after everyone finishes the chores; original Episode 06 artwork.

Mrs. Park

아이고, 더러워요! 오늘은 대청소를 해요!

Oh dear, it's filthy! Today we're doing a big cleanup!

Yuki

와, 집이 정말 깨끗해요!

Wow, the house is really clean!

Junho

이제 깨끗이 써요!

From now on, let's keep it clean!

FROM THE ORIGINAL VIDEO · LEARNING REPLAY

Point to the things around you.

These three review turns follow the story in the original video. They are a teaching replay for pointing to things, not new facts about the characters or whose belongings they own.

Minji

이 옷은 제 옷이에요. 이것은 유키 씨의 가방이에요. 가방에 책이 있어요.

These clothes are mine. This is Yuki's bag. There is a book in it.

Yuki

그것은 휴대폰이에요? 그 옷도 민지 씨 옷이에요?

Is that a phone? Are those clothes yours too?

Mrs. Park

저것은 빨래예요. 저 규칙표를 봐요. 오늘은 같이 청소해요.

That's the laundry. Look at that rule chart. Let's clean together today.

A little teamwork makes a house feel like home.

FROM THE STORY TO YOUR OWN WORDS

This, that, and a place to call home.

Point to nearby and distant things, with or without naming them.

01

Small words that point the way.

01FROM THE ORIGINAL DIALOGUE

엄마, 이게 뭐예요?

Mom, what’s this?

Minji points to the new chore chart. 이게 is a common spoken contraction of 이것이. Recognize it here; the practice below focuses on 이/그/저 and 이것/그것/저것.

Back to scene 01 ↗
02FROM THE VIDEO’S LEARNING REPLAY

그것은 휴대폰이에요?

Is that a phone?

From the learning replay. 그것 refers to the thing near the listener, without naming it first. Compare 그 옷: 그 needs the following noun 옷.

03FROM THE VIDEO’S LEARNING REPLAY

저것은 빨래예요. 저 규칙표를 봐요.

That over there is the laundry. Look at that rule chart over there.

From the learning replay. 저것 stands on its own; 저 comes before 규칙표. Both point away from speaker and listener. The laundry and chart are different objects.

02

Where is it? Choose your word.

TODAY’S GRAMMAR

이 · 그 · 저
이것 · 그것 · 저것

Use 이, 그, or 저 before a noun. Use 이것, 그것, or 저것 to refer to a thing without repeating its name.

Near the speaker → 이 / 이것
이 옷 · 이것
Near the listener → 그 / 그것
그 옷 · 그것
Far from both → 저 / 저것
저 규칙표 · 저것

Leave a space before a noun: 이 옷. Write 이것, 그것, and 저것 as one word; particles attach directly: 그것은. 그 can also refer to something already mentioned, not only something near the listener.

In the story, 이게 뭐예요? uses the spoken contraction 이게 = 이것이. Treat it as a useful expression; contractions are not tested here.

BUILD THE FORM

이 + 옷 → 이 옷

FROM THE LEARNING REPLAY

이 옷은 제 옷이에요.

These clothes are mine.

Use 이 before a noun for something near the speaker. Without the noun, use 이것. The replay also says: 이것은 유키 씨의 가방이에요.

The moving distance guide and form-building diagrams are added learning aids. The finished sentences come from the original learning replay. Its ownership examples are practice, not new character facts. Housework expressions are for story comprehension; this quiz focuses on pointing words.
