Typowe błędy

• ✗같이 저녁 먹을 래요?
  ✓같이 저녁 먹을래요?

  -(으)ㄹ래요? is written as one unit without a space. Adding a space breaks the grammar ending.

• ✗우리 집에 오래요?
  ✓우리 집에 올래요?

  오다 (to come) has the stem 오. Since it ends in a vowel, attach ㄹ래요?: 오 + ㄹ래요? = 올래요? The ㄹ merges with the stem.

• ✗저녁을 같이 먹을래요?
  ✓같이 저녁 먹을래요?

  While not grammatically wrong, 같이 typically comes before the verb phrase. Placing 같이 at the start sounds more natural.

• ✗몇 시에 올 수 있어요?라고 물었어요
  ✓몇 시에 올 수 있어요? (no 라고 물었어요)

  In direct speech use the question form as-is. 라고 물었어요 is for reported speech.

• ✗맛있게 먹어요!
  ✓맛있게 드세요!

  드세요 is the honorific form of 먹다/마시다 used to guests and elders. 먹어요 is correct for friends but less polite at a dinner invitation.
