Relative clauses (는 / 은 / 을)
내가 먹은 김밥 — put a whole clause in front of a noun.
Before the noun
Korean stacks the description before the noun. Present action: stem + 는 — 가는 버스. Past action: 은/ㄴ — 먹은 김밥. Future/obligation flavor: 을/ㄹ — 먹을 음식.
Descriptive verbs (adjectives) usually take 은/ㄴ: 비싼 가방. Keep the head noun at the end; English word order will fight you until this feels automatic.
