이/그/저 with 이다
Remember:
- 이다: to be. It’s conjugated as “am/is/are”.
- 이: this
- 그/저: that
- 이것/그것/저것
Now time to make sentences: for example let’s use the phrase “this person is a doctor”. The first step it to transform it using the korean sentences structure, so it would look like “that person는 doctor is”. And now we can write it like this:
그 사람은 + 의사 + 이다 = 그 사람은 의사야 (informal) / 그 사람은 의사예요 (formal)
Examples: you can copy these and try to form the sentences by yourself or you can make your own using these only as examples/a guide.
- this person is a teacher: 이 사람은 선생님 이다 = 이 사람은 선생님이야 / 이 사람은 선생님이예요
- this (thing) is a table: 이것은 탁자 이다 = 이것은 탁자야 / 이것은 탁자예요
- that (thing) is a bed: 저것은 침대 이다 = 저것은 침대야 / 저것은 침대예요
- that person is a man: 그 사람은 남자 이다 = 그 사람은 남자야 / 그 사람은 남자예요
- this (thing) is a tree: 이것은 나무 이다 = 이것은 나무야 / 이것은 나무예요

이/그/저 (this and that)
THIS: 이
It is used when we are talking about something that is within touching distance.
It is placed before the noun it is describing (like in English)
Ex:
*이사람:thisperson
*이남자:thisman
*이여자:thiswoman
*이차:thiscar
*이탁자:thistable
*이의자:thischair
THAT:
1. 그: it’s used when we’re talking about something from a previous sentence or previos context, regardless of if we can see it or not.
2. 저: it’s used when we’re talking about something we can see but can’t touch, cause it is too far away.
Both can be placed before the noun, just like with 이.
Ex:
*이사람:thisperson
*그사람:thatperson
*저사람:thatperson
Remember: although the English translations of 그 and 저 are the same (”that”), they DO NOT have the same meaning in Korean
One of the most common words are 것 (”thing”), and then 이/그/저 are placed before it, it conforms a compound word.
Ex:
*이것: this thing
*그것: that thing
*저것: that thing
As in English, in Korean “that” can be a determiner (ex “I like that table”), and also can be a pronoun (ex “I like that”), so…
1. when it is used as a determiner, 그 goes before the noun.
2. when it is used as a pronoun, 그것 is used
(그것 is the name “IT” receives in korean)
