ข้อสอบฝึก TOPIK I และ II

입니다 is the formal polite copula for nouns. 이에요/예요 are polite informal endings, and 입니다요 is not a standard form.

입니까 is the formal question form of the copula: 책입니까? means "Is (it) a book?"

에 marks a destination with movement verbs such as 가다 (to go) and 오다 (to come).

사람 is a noun, so the polite copula 이에요 follows it: 한국 사람이에요 means "I am Korean."

씻으세요 is the polite imperative of 씻다 (to wash). The sentence gives a friendly instruction.

만 원 is a noun, so 이에요 follows consonants? No: 원 ends in ㄴ (consonant), so 이에요 is correct. 만 원이에요 means "It is 10,000 won."

이 marks the last item in a list before a total count: 아버지, 어머니, 오빠와 저 이렇게 네 명. Here 이 functions as a listing particle.

일어납니다 is the present formal polite form of 일어나다 (to get up). The adverb 매일 (every day) matches present tense.

어제 (yesterday) places the action in the past, so the verb must be past tense. 보다 (to see/watch) becomes 봤어요 in the polite past form, while 봐요, 볼게요 and 봅니다 are present, future intention, and formal present forms that do not express a completed past action.

The question uses the informal polite form 좋아해요, so the reply should use the same form to sound natural. 아주 (very) strengthens the statement, and 좋아해요 agrees with the question; the future, formal, and past forms do not fit this conversational response.

갑시다 is the formal suggestion form "let us go." 가요 is a statement/question, and 가세요 is an imperative for a single listener.

시작합니다 is the present formal polite form. A scheduled daily event uses the present tense.

The speaker first says they are learning Korean and then adds that it is difficult but interesting, so a contrast connector is needed. 그런데 (but/however) joins the two ideas; 그리고 adds information, 그래서 gives a result, and 그러면 introduces a condition.

The clause 시간이 없어서 (because there was no time) explains a completed action, so past tense 탔어요 fits.

맛있어요 is the polite present form of 맛있다 (delicious). The sentence states a general fact.

자주 means often and fits the idea that people in Korea eat kimchi regularly. 조금 (a little) and 천천히 (slowly) describe quantity or speed, and 아직 (yet) refers to something not finished, so none of them expresses frequency.

내일 (tomorrow) points to the future, and Korean often uses the present tense 옵니다 for a scheduled or planned event with 오다 (to come). 왔어요 is past, 올게요 is a personal promise, and 오세요 is an imperative or honorific form.

천천히 (slowly) is the adverb that matches a request to read the sentence carefully. 잘 (well), 많이 (a lot) and 빨리 (quickly) all change the meaning, so they do not fit the instruction to read slowly.

운동을 하다 means to exercise, and 매일 (every day) describes a regular habit, so the present formal form 합니다 is appropriate. 했어요 is past, 할게요 expresses intention, and 해요 is the informal polite form.

께서 is the honorific subject particle, so the verb takes the honorific 사시- + past 어요: 사셨어요.

가야 돼요 (or 가야 해요) expresses obligation: "I have to go." 돼요 is the polite form of 되다 used with -아/어야.

The pattern -은 후에 (after ...) connects to the main clause; present tense 합니다 states a habit.

날씨가 추우니까 gives the reason "because it is cold", so the main clause should give advice in the polite imperative. 입으세요 means "please wear" and fits; 입었어요 is past, 입을게요 is future intention, and 입어요 is the plain present form.

그리고 (and) adds a related activity. 하지만 (but) would signal contrast, which is not intended here.

The speaker is confirming that the bank exists nearby, so 있어요 (there is) is the correct present form. 없어요 means there is not, 있을게요 is future intention, and 있었어요 is past, none of which answers the question positively.

The gift-giving action is completed, so 주다 (to give) must appear in the past polite form. 주다 becomes 줬어요 in the polite past; 주세요 is a request, 줄게요 is future intention, and 주었습니다요 is not a standard form.

일이 많아서 explains "because there is a lot of work", so the sentence describes a present state. 바쁘다 (busy) becomes 바빠요 in the present polite form; 바쁠게요 is not a normal statement form, 바빴어요 is past, and 바쁘세요 is honorific.

A train departure at a fixed time is a scheduled event, so Korean uses the present tense 출발합니다. 출발할게요 is a personal promise, 출발하세요 is an imperative, and 출발했어요 is past, so only the present formal form fits the timetable.

가지고 가다 means "to take (something) along"; the imperative is 가지고 가세요. 가져가다 is also correct for "take," but the standard separable form with 우산을 is 가지고 가세요.

The sentence describes two actions with one subject: eating bread and drinking milk. 먹고 마셔요 connects the verbs with -고, so it is the only option that includes both actions; 먹었어요 is past, 마셔요 omits eating, and 먹어요 omits drinking.

조용히 하다 means "to be quiet", and the sentence is a polite instruction in a library. 하세요 directly forms the standard imperative 조용히 하세요; 해 주세요 is a request form that is not the intended structure here, 해요 is plain present, and 했어요 is past.

내일 시험이 있어서 explains why the speaker is studying now, so the progressive form is needed. -고 있어요 expresses an ongoing action: 공부를 하고 있어요 means "I am studying"; 할게요 is future intention, 했어요 is past, and 하세요 is imperative or honorific.

The direction tells someone to go straight and then turn right, so the verb needs the polite imperative. 오른쪽으로 도세요 means "turn right"; 도착해요 (arrive), 지나요 (pass) and 나와요 (come out) do not express turning.

할머니께서 is an honorific subject, so the adjective 좋다 (good/healthy) must take the honorific suffix -시-, giving 좋으세요. 좋아요 is plain polite and does not show respect, while 좋을게요 and 좋았어요 are future and past forms.

아주 (very) is the adverb that intensifies a positive statement such as 좋아해요 (like). 별로 and 전혀 normally require negative endings, and 조금 means a little, so only 아주 fits the sentence as written.

The sentence describes a routine after work, so the present polite form is used. 돌아가다 (to go back) becomes 돌아가요; 돌아왔어요 is past, 돌아가세요 is imperative or honorific, and 돌아갈게요 is future intention.

이 옷이 저한테 좀 describes a current observation that the clothes are a little small. 작다 (small) becomes 작아요 in the present polite form; 작을게요 is not a natural statement form, 작으세요 is honorific, and 작았어요 is past.

-려고 하다 expresses intention, so 등산을 하려고 합니다 means "I intend to hike". 합니다 completes the pattern; 했어요 is past, 할게요 is a casual promise, and 해요 is the plain present form.

When the speaker offers to explain for the listener, the humble pattern -아/어 드리다 is appropriate. 설명해 드릴게요 means "I will explain for you"; 설명할게요 lacks the humble nuance, 설명해요 is plain present, and 설명했습니다 is past.

The picnic was canceled because of rain, so the completed action needs past tense. 취소했어요 is the past polite form of 취소하다; 취소해요 is present, 취소할게요 is future intention, and 취소하세요 is imperative.

The pattern -은 지 + time + 되다 means "it has been (time)." 됐어요 is the common contracted past form.

어머니는 is an honorific subject, so the verb 가다 must include the honorific suffix -시-. 가시- + 어요 becomes 가세요, which shows respect; 가요 is plain, 가셨어요 is past, and 가실게요 is not a natural present form.

The ability form is -ㄹ 수 있다 attached to the verb stem: 만들 + ㄹ 수 있어요. 만들다 is a verb ending in ㄹ, so the ability form uses -ㄹ 수 있다 without an extra vowel. The other forms are future, past, and polite connective forms that do not express ability.

The natural answer to "what does it mean?" when unsure is 몰라요 ("I do not know").

The speaker apologizes for being late and asks the listener to wait a little, so a polite request is needed. 기다려 주세요 means "please wait for me"; 기다리세요 is also an imperative but does not use the request pattern, 기다려요 is plain, and 기다렸어요 is past.

The conditional 시간이 있으면 suggests an invitation, so the formal suggestion 봅시다 ("let us watch") fits. 봐요 is plain present, 봤어요 is past, and 보세요 is an imperative, none of which makes a group suggestion.

-려면 (if one intends to) pairs with obligation -아/어야 해요: 자야 해요 means "must sleep."

가르치다 (to teach) with honorific subject takes 가르치시- + 어요: 가르치세요. 배우다 means "to learn," so it cannot describe the teacher's action toward students. The honorific -시- is required because the subject 선생님 is socially higher.

배가 고프면 gives the condition "if you are hungry", so the main clause should be advice in the polite imperative. 먹으세요 means "please eat"; 먹어요 is plain present, 먹을게요 is future intention, and 먹었어요 is past.

The speaker likes the activity of singing, so the object must be a gerund phrase followed by 좋아하다. 노래를 부르는 것을 좋아해요 is the natural structure; 좋아요 is an adjective, 좋았어요 is past, and 좋아할게요 is future intention.

The speaker does not understand the grammar and asks for another explanation, so a polite request is needed. 설명해 주세요 means "please explain"; 설명해요 is plain present, 설명할게요 is a promise, and 설명했어요 is past.

날씨가 좋으면 gives the condition "if the weather is nice", and the sentence is a suggestion to go together. 갑시다 is the formal suggestion "let us go"; 갔어요 is past, 가요 is plain present, and 가세요 is imperative.

한국어 공부가 재미있어서 gives the reason, and the speaker expresses a future intention to continue. -(으)ㄹ 거예요 marks that intention: 계속 할 거예요 means "I will continue"; 하세요, 했어요 and 해요 do not express the future plan.

알다 (to know) is an irregular verb that changes to 알아요 in the polite present form. 알았어요 is past, 알고 있어요 means "have known" with a stative nuance, and 아라요 is not a correct conjugation.

컴퓨터가 고장나서 explains that the computer broke, and the arrangement to have it repaired is complete. 수리를 맡기다 means "to have something repaired", and past tense 맡겼어요 fits; 맡길게요 is future intention, 맡아요 is plain present, and 맡기세요 is imperative.

못 하다 (cannot do) in past tense is 못 했어요. The time clause 처음 왔을 때 sets the past.

교통이 복잡해서 gives the reason "because traffic is heavy", so the main clause advises taking the subway. 타세요 is the polite imperative of 타다 (to ride) and means "please take"; 탈게요 is future intention, 탔어요 is past, and 타요 is plain present.

안녕히 가세요 means "go peacefully" and is said by the person staying to the person leaving. A guest leaving says 안녕히 계세요 to the host.

감사합니다 literally means "thank you" and is used when expressing gratitude to someone. Since the statement says exactly that, it is true; the other choice would claim the expression has a different meaning.

을/를 is the object particle that marks the direct object of an action verb. In 책을 읽어요, 책 is the object being read, so the statement is true; using 에 or 에서 would change the sentence to location or direction.

주세요 means "please give (me)" and appears in requests such as 물 한 잔 주세요.

어제 means "yesterday", so it refers to the past, not the future. The Korean word for tomorrow is 내일, which is the future time expression; therefore the statement is false.

-고 있다 attaches to a verb stem to express an action in progress. In 공부하고 있어요, the speaker is in the middle of studying, so the statement correctly describes the progressive meaning.

에 is used with movement verbs such as 가다 and 오다 to mark a destination. In 학교에 가요, 학교 is the place the speaker goes to, so the statement about 에 indicating destination is true.

지하철 means subway or underground train, and in urban areas it usually runs below ground. The statement says it runs above ground, so it is false; buses and some surface trains run above ground.

안녕하세요 (hello), 감사합니다 (thank you) and 잘 가요 (goodbye) are all greeting expressions used in daily conversation. 맛있어요 means "delicious" and describes food, so it does not belong in the greeting group.

김치, 비빔밥 and 불고기 are well-known Korean foods, so they form the correct group. 책상 means desk and is a furniture word, not a food name, so it should not be selected.

버스 (bus), 지하철 (subway) and 기차 (train) are all forms of transportation. 사과 means apple and is a fruit, so it does not belong in the transportation group.

학교에 가요 uses 에 for destination and 읽어요 is the correct verb form. 에서 marks location of an action and 읽어서요 is not a complete sentence.

설날 (Lunar New Year), 추석 (Chuseok) and 한복 (hanbok) are Korean cultural terms; 도서관 means library.

봐요 (present), 봤어요 (past) and 볼게요 (future intention) are valid forms; 봅니다요 is not standard.

책 is book, 물 is water, 친구 is friend, and 학교 is school. Matching these basic nouns with their English meanings builds the everyday vocabulary needed for TOPIK I reading and listening.

가족 is family, 회사 is company, 음식 is food, and 날씨 is weather. These nouns appear frequently in daily-life reading passages and conversations, so learning them by theme helps recall during the test.

은/는 marks the topic, 을/를 marks the object, 에 marks a destination, and 에서 marks where an action occurs.

편의점 is a convenience store, 병원 is a hospital, 공항 is an airport, and 역 is a station.

오늘 is today, 어제 is yesterday, 내일 is tomorrow, and 지금 is now. Time expressions are common in TOPIK listening and reading, and knowing the order of past, present and future helps answer schedule questions quickly.

-고 있다 is progressive, -ㄹ 수 있다 expresses ability, -아/어야 되다 expresses obligation, and -으려고 하다 expresses intention. Matching each pattern to its meaning requires recognizing the core function of the ending. The four meanings are distinct, so each row has one correct match.

보다 marks the standard of comparison, and 더 (more) intensifies the adjective: 한국어가 일본어보다 더 어려워요 means "Korean is harder than Japanese."

The suggestion -ㄹ까요? invites agreement; the natural reply is 네, 좋아요 ("Yes, that sounds good").

-네요 expresses surprise or realization; the natural response agrees: 맞아요, 정말 맛있어요 ("Right, it really is delicious").
