Explanation

Polite endings attach to the verb with no space: 가요, 먹어요, 학생이에요.

Do not write 가 요 or 학생 이에요 as two floating pieces in careful text.

Particles attach to nouns without spaces: 학교에, 물을 — then the verb carries 요.

Chat may be sloppy; essays, TOPIK, and work messages should keep standard spacing.

This page focuses on “Spacing before 요.” Read for meaning first, then re-read looking only at formality and particle choice — those two details decide whether you sound natural.

After the explanation, study the worked examples and the common mistakes. Then take the one-question check so you know you did not only skim.
