Object particle with adjectives
Try it freeCompare + self-checkRead the contrast, then take the on-page quiz.Open →Explanation
좋다, 크다, 많다 typically mark the thing described with 이/가: 날씨가 좋아요.
좋아하다 is a transitive action verb and takes 을/를: 음악을 좋아해요.
The 하다 vs descriptive pair is a classic trap (좋다 vs 좋아하다).
Mistake: 날씨를 좋아요.
Level: beginner. Read both sides of the contrast, say the examples out loud, then write one correct and one incorrect sentence and fix it.
Cross-link: open the related grammar or tools page the same day so the fix sticks in your study graph.
Examples
이 노래가 좋아요.
This song is good. / I like this song (descriptive).
이 노래를 좋아해요.
I like this song. (좋아하다)
