Grammar points

N와/과and (joining two nouns)

와/과 joins two nouns into one phrase, like 'and'. Use 과 after a noun ending in a consonant (선율과) and 와 after one ending in a vowel (친구와). It only links nouns — to join two sentences or verbs, Korean uses -고 instead. In speech you will also hear 하고 and 랑/이랑 for the same job.

Example: 저는 빵과 우유를 샀습니다.

I bought bread and milk.

N에는in N, (as for what's) in N

This is the location particle 에 with the topic particle 는 added on top. 에 alone says where something is; adding 는 makes that place the topic of the sentence, often setting it against something else. 이 앨범에는 일곱 곡이 담겼습니다 means 'on THIS album, seven songs are included' — hinting that another album might differ.

Example: 이 가방에는 책이 세 권 있습니다.

In this bag there are three books.

N도N too, N as well

도 means 'also' and replaces the subject or object particle rather than stacking after it — say 저도 (not 저는도) and 이것도 (not 이것을도). In the article, 중국어 버전과 영어 버전도 means those versions are on the album in addition to what was already mentioned.

Example: 동생도 학교에 갑니다.

My younger sibling goes to school too.
