or even express doing something to an extreme degree, like
I ran *until* I was exhausted." By the end of this chapter, you won't just be speaking Korean; you'll be conveying your thoughts and motivations with precision and natural flow.

Overview

Welcome to your essential B1 Korean grammar guide on expressing intentions and desired results! Mastering these structures is a crucial step for any learner aiming to achieve native-like fluency in Korean grammar. At the CEFR B1 level, you're moving beyond basic communication to articulate complex ideas, and this chapter will empower you to clearly communicate *why* you're doing something and *what outcome* you hope to achieve.
No more just stating facts; now you can share your motivations, plans, and the purpose behind your actions with precision.
This chapter introduces you to powerful Korean grammar patterns that allow you to express purpose and result. We'll start with 러/으러 for stating the purpose of going or coming somewhere, like explaining why you're heading to the library. Then, you'll learn 려고/으려고 to express your personal intentions and plans, perfect for discussing weekend activities or future goals.
Finally, we'll delve into the versatile -게 and -도록, which allow you to explain actions taken so that a certain result occurs, or even to describe actions performed until a certain point. By the end, you'll be able to convey your thoughts and motivations with a natural flow, significantly enhancing your B1 Korean communication skills.

How This Grammar Works

This chapter focuses on connecting your actions to your intentions, plans, and desired outcomes. Let's break down the core Korean grammar patterns you'll master.
First, 러/으러 is used to express the purpose of going or coming somewhere. It attaches to the stem of a verb that describes the action you intend to do. If the verb stem ends in a vowel or (e.g., 가다, 만들다), use -러.
If it ends in a consonant (e.g., 먹다), use -으러. This structure is almost always followed by verbs like 가다 (to go), 오다 (to come), 다니다 (to attend/commute), etc.
* 도서관에 책을 읽으러 가요. (I'm going to the library to read a book.)
* 친구를 만나러 왔어요. (I came to meet a friend.)
Next, 려고/으려고 expresses a personal intention or plan. It attaches to a verb stem. If the verb stem ends in a vowel or , use -려고.
If it ends in a consonant, use -으려고. This form is more general than 러/으러 and can be used with any verb, not just those of movement. It implies I intend to, I plan to, or "I'm going to."
* 주말에 영화를 보려고 해요. (I'm planning to watch a movie this weekend.)
* 한국어를 공부하려고 한국에 왔어요. (I came to Korea to study Korean.)
Then we have -게, a versatile ending that can indicate a result, purpose (so that, in order to), or an extent. It attaches to a verb or adjective stem. When expressing purpose or result, it means
so that [something happens]
or
in a way that [something happens].
* 문을 닫게 해 주세요. (Please close the door so that it's closed.)
* 모두 이해하게 설명해 주세요. (Please explain it so that everyone understands.)
Finally, -도록 also expresses purpose (so that, in order to) or an extent (until,
to the point where
). It attaches to a verb or adjective stem. It often implies a goal or a limit. While similar to -게 for purpose, -도록 strongly emphasizes the *result* or *extent* of an action.
* 시험에 합격하도록 열심히 공부했어요. (I studied hard so that I would pass the exam.)
* 배가 부르도록 먹었어요. (I ate until I was full.)
* 새벽까지 춤을 추도록 파티를 했어요. (We partied until dawn dancing.)

Common Mistakes

  1. 1Wrong: 저는 커피를 마시러 공부해요. (I study to drink coffee.)
Correct: 저는 커피를 마시려고 카페에 가요. (I go to the cafe to drink coffee.)
*Explanation:* 러/으러 is specifically for expressing the purpose of *going or coming* somewhere. You cannot use it with verbs that don't imply movement. If you want to express a general intention, use 려고/으려고.
  1. 1Wrong: 빨리 끝내려고 노력하세요. (Please try to finish quickly.)
Correct: 빨리 끝내도록 노력하세요. (Please try to finish quickly.)
*Explanation:* While 려고/으려고 can express intention, when you're instructing or asking someone to *try* to achieve a result, -도록 is more natural and conveys
to the point of achieving
or
so that something happens.
-게 (빨리 끝나게 노력하세요) is also possible but -도록 is very common with 노력하다.
  1. 1Wrong: 문이 열리게 기다렸어요. (I waited so that the door would open.)
Correct: 문이 열릴 때까지 기다렸어요. (I waited until the door opened.)
*Explanation:* While -게 can indicate a result, when expressing until a specific event happens, -도록 or -을 때까지 are more precise. -도록 would be 문이 열리도록 기다렸어요.

Quick FAQ

Q

How is 러/으러 different from -고 싶어서?

러/으러 explicitly states the *purpose for moving* (going/coming) to a location, while -고 싶어서 states a *desire as a reason* for any action.

Q

Can 려고/으려고 be used with commands or suggestions?

Generally no, 려고/으려고 expresses *one's own* intention. For commands/suggestions, you'd use other forms like -세요 or -읍시다.

Q

What's the main difference between -게 and -도록 when expressing so that?

Both can express purpose. -게 often describes *how* something is done to achieve a result, or simply the result itself. -도록 often emphasizes reaching a *specific goal or extent*, and is common with verbs like 노력하다 (to try) or 하다 (to do).

Cultural Context

These grammar patterns are fundamental for expressing your thoughts and intentions clearly in Korean. Native speakers use 려고/으려고 constantly in daily conversations to share plans and intentions, from simple weekend activities to long-term goals. 러/으러 is indispensable for explaining the purpose of trips or errands.
The result connectors -게 and -도록 are crucial for giving instructions, explaining motivations, or describing actions that lead to a certain state, making your communication much more precise and nuanced.

ヒントとコツ (4)

⚠️

静止した状態には使えません

「いる(있어요)」や「いらっしゃる(계시다)」には使えません。必ず移動の動詞と一緒に使いましょう。 «공부하러 도서관에 왔어요.»
frontend.learn_grammar.from_rule: 〜しに行く・目的の表現 (러/으러)
⚠️

文末のトラップに注意

後ろの文に命令(-세요)や勧誘(-읍시다)、提案(-을까요)は使えません!アドバイスをしたい時は「-려면」を使いましょう。 «건강해지려면 매일 운동하세요.»
frontend.learn_grammar.from_rule: 〜しようと思って、〜するために (려고/으려고)
🎯

丁寧な「お願い」の裏技

命令を柔らかくしたい時は「〜して!」の代わりに「〜できるように…」と言ってみて。例えば «좀 지나가게...» と言うと、直接的すぎず自然にどいてもらえますよ。
frontend.learn_grammar.from_rule: -ge: ~するように、~く (目的・結果)
🎯

主語が違ってもOK!

「私が〜するから、あなたが〜して」のように、前後で主語が変わる時にすごく便利です。例えば「私が通れるように、ちょっとどいて」なら «내가 지나가게 잠시 비켜 주세요.» と言います。

  • Verb Stem + -게

  • Verb Stem + -도록
  • Verb Stem + -도록

よくある間違い

You don't need '려고 해요' when using '러' with motion verbs. It's redundant to say 'plan to go to study'.

Wrong: 도서관에 공부하러 가려고 해요.
正解: 도서관에 공부하러 가요.

Use '려고' for personal intent. '-도록' is better for stating a goal or a state achieved by effort.

Wrong: 합격하도록 공부해요.
正解: 합격하려고 공부해요.

When describing doing something until a point of exhaustion, '도록' is the natural choice for intensity.

Wrong: 지치게 달렸어요.
正解: 지치도록 달렸어요.

よくある質問 (6)

最後の移動動詞を過去形にします。例えば「食べに行った」は «먹으러 갔어요» と言います。 «먹었으러» とは言わないので注意!
もちろんです! «공부하러 갈 거예요»(勉強しに行くつもりです)のように、未来形とも相性バッチリですよ。
「러」は「行く・来る(가다/오다)」などの移動動詞としか使えません。「려고」はどんな動詞とも使えて、より広い「意図」を表します。 «사러 가요» は自然ですが、«사러 공부해요» は間違いです。
そのままでは使えません。形容詞を「-아/어지다(〜くなる)」で動詞に変える必要があります。 «예뻐지려고» ならOKです!
90%は同じ意味ですが、-게 の方が柔らかく、日常会話でよく使われます。-도록 は少し意志が強かったり、フォーマルな響きがあります。友達には «잊지 않게»、公的な場では «잊지 않도록» を使いましょう。
いいえ、使えません。-게 の前に -았/었- を付けることはありません。「遅れないように早く起きた」と言う時も、過去形にせず «늦지 않게 일어났어요» と言います。
