# Telling a news story in Korean

Use -(이)라고 하다 (reported speech) to relay what someone said:

  • 경찰은 범인을 잡았다고 했어요. → The police said they caught the suspect.
  • 목격자는 사고가 저녁에 발생했다고 했어요. → The witness said the accident happened in the evening.

For information of uncertain origin, use -(으)ㄴ/는 것으로 알려지다:

  • 그 사건은 내부 갈등으로 인한 것으로 알려졌어요. → The incident is reportedly due to internal conflict.

Use -에 따르면 (according to) for sources:

  • 정부 발표에 따르면 상황이 통제되고 있습니다. → According to the government announcement, the situation is under control.

Time markers structure narratives: 처음에 (at first), 그 후에 (after that), 결국 (in the end). These connectors make a story flow naturally in Korean.

Uitdrukkingen

  • ...라고 했어요Said that... (reported speech, past)
  • ...것으로 알려졌어요It is reportedly... / It became known that...
  • 처음에는 ...했는데At first... but... (narrative opener)
  • 그 후에 ...이/가 발생했어요After that, ... occurred

  • 수사가 진행 중입니다The investigation is ongoing

Veelgemaakte fouten

  • 경찰은 말했어요 잡았다
    경찰은 잡았다고 했어요

    Reported speech uses -(이)라고 하다. The quoted clause must come directly before 라고 했어요.

  • 알려졌어요 그 사건이
    그 사건이 알려졌어요

    Korean word order is Subject-Object-Verb. The subject comes first, not after the verb.

  • 사건은 발생됐어요
    사건이 발생했어요

    발생하다 is already intransitive — no passive needed. Also prefer 이/가 over 은/는 for new information.

  • 수사 진행이에요
    수사가 진행 중이에요

    진행 중 (ongoing / in progress) is the correct phrase, not just 진행이에요.

  • 처음부터 문제 있었어요
    처음부터 문제가 있었어요

    Subject 문제 needs the subject particle 이/가: 문제가 있었어요.
