Abstract
This is a study on how Korean learners use ‘de’ complement, which is classified into ‘potential complement’, ‘degree complement’ and ‘stative complement’. Potential complement written by Korean learners include confusion with modal verbs sentences, auxiliary word errors, confusion with adverb phrases, incorrect use of complements, errors in ‘ba’ phrase, word order errors, and predicate omission or replacement errors. Degree complement written by Korean learners include incorrect use of complements, auxiliary word errors, redicate replacement errors, and confusion with adverb phrases. Stative complement written by Korean learners include auxiliary word errors, incorrect use of complements, errors in sentences with objects, errors in adverbs of degree, descriptive errors, and confusion with adverbial phrases.BR In order to reduce errors in potential complement, prior learning on resultative complement and directional complement, which are the basis for forming potential complement structure, is necessary. In order to distinguish between potential complement phrases and sentences using modal verbs, it is necessary to practice various situations with contexts such as ability, subjective or objective conditions, and permission. It is also essential to learn that potential complement is not used in ‘ba’ phrase. Since degree complement is not familiar to Korean learners, learners need to learn the detailed characteristics of each form to use what is appropriate for the context. It should also be emphasized that the words that can become term are limited, and in particular, action verb and degree complement cannot be used together. In the case of stative complement, it should be emphasized that the adverb of degree is used when adjective is used as a stative complement. In many cases, ‘de’ complement phrase and adverb phrase are easily confused. However, even if it has the same meaning in Korean, it should be taught that the sentence should be expressed differently depending on where the speaker
