Chunk the sentence: topic/subject, object (if any), and the verb ending that carries tense and politeness.
Transformation drill: change one slot — time (오늘/내일), place (집/학교), or person (저/친구). Keep the same verb ending so you practice productive flexibility.
Listening drill: play audio if available, shadow immediately, then write the sentence from memory. Compare character-by-character — spacing mistakes count.
