개 counts many objects: 한 개, 두 개, 세 개.
Native Korean numbers 1-4 change before counters (하나→한).
Not for people (명/분) or some special counters (잔, 권…).
Shopping essential.
Level: beginner. Read the pattern, say each example out loud, then write two new sentences of your own before moving on.
After you can produce the form, open related Chamelingo pages (vocabulary, conjugator, particles) so the pattern connects to words you actually study.
Examples
사과 세 개 주세요.
Three apples, please.
