When it comes to word types, it can be confusing to know whether words categorized as adjectives are verbs or not.
While the word order in English is subject + verb + object, the word order in Korean is subject + object + verb.
In Korean, not only verbs but also adjectives function as predicates, so keep this in mind when looking at word types.
Word types can change depending on the context.
The types of words can also be deduced from their English definitions, see below for the English word type.
