Korean Particles Practice Workbook (Contrast Pairs, Drills + Answer Keys)

Is it 저는 or 제가? 집에 or 집에서? 고양이를 좋아해요 or 고양이가 좋아요?

Particle charts are easy to find. Knowing which one to use in a real sentence is not. This 37-page printable workbook is built around contrast: every unit puts two look-alike particles side by side, explains the difference in plain English, answers the "Why is it 은 here?" questions learners actually ask — and then makes you practice until it sticks.

WHAT'S INSIDE

• Choosing the shape: 은 or 는? 이 or 가? 으로 or 로? (incl. the ㄹ rule and 과/와) + pronoun shortcuts (제가, 누가, 제, 내)

• The Particle Map — all 14 particles on one page (clickable)

• 8 units, each with a contrast pair and explanation, plus "Why?" notes, trap warnings and 6 short dialogues across the units:

은/는 vs 이/가 · 을/를 · 에 vs 에서 · 에게/한테/께 · 도 and 만 · 의 (제, 내) · (으)로 · 와/과, 하고, (이)랑

• A practice page for every unit (choose, fill-in or fix-it)

• Graded mixed practice: Level 1 shape drill (92 forms) → Level 2 contrast pairs → Level 3 thirty fill-in sentences with English translations → Level 4 spot the mistake (20 sentences) → Level 5 review test

• Answer keys for everything — where two answers are natural, the key says so

• One-page cheat sheet (14 particles: job, shape rule, example, trap)

WHO IT'S FOR

Beginner–elementary (A1–A2) self-learners who can read Hangul, K-drama and K-pop fans starting to build sentences, heritage learners, and tutors who need ready-made particle practice.

HOW IT WAS MADE

Explanations and example sentences were written with AI assistance. Every sentence and answer key was then checked twice: by an automatic checker (particle shapes by rule plus a Korean morphological analyzer) and in a separate line-by-line review. It has not yet been reviewed by a native-speaking Korean teacher. If you spot an error, tell me — fixes go into a free update.
