Just a tip: 에 and 에서 are called "location marking particles" - 에 means "to" or "at". -에서 means "from" and "at" So what's the difference between the first and the second "at" - "at" as 에 ..we use it when we are at a place but we are not doing an action Ex:칩에 있어요 ..I am at home - but "at" as 에서 is used when you are at a place and you are doing an action Ex:칩에서 일해요 ..I am working at home
That is to and from, 한테 and 한테서 are used in the same (?or at least similar) manner
Oooooooohhh this is super helpful. Thank you! Gonna go back and revise my notes with this.

Yes, house is 집. However, it sounds like a "ch" sound because "ch" is a more aspirated version of "j".
all credits to @Ash-Fred, here is his explanation on this topic
A partial copy-paste from that post (but you definitionally have to read the full topic) :
In this case, yes, you can say
에is static and에서is active, which is a good rule of thumb, but what is static and what is active are not clearly distinguishable. [...]
So from what i've seen on duolingo, these forms of the verb would be okay: 노래를 합니다, 노래합니다 and 노래를 노래합니다. Can someone please tell me if I am correct? I've found this topic a little confusing from the start. Thank you :)
question. Wouldn't this be: I sing a song at the library because 노래 has a subject marker after it so he english translation would be I at the library did a song, sing is a verb so why does it have an object marker after it then 합 합니다 (which is to do, but is defined as to sing here)
Many verbs in Korean are made by using -하다 (Ex. 수영하다, 운전하다, 운동하다, 청소하다, etc.) 노래하다 has the same meaning as 노래를 하다 (same goes for 수영을 하다, 운전을 하다, 운동을 하다, 청소를 하다.) In English we don't say "to do a song" but we use the verb "to sing." Hence both 노래하다 and 노래를 하다 are translated to "to sing." "To sing a song" would not be entirely wrong, but it is up to the translater to decide to add words in the target language(TL) that are not used in the source language(SL). This is only done when the meaning that is conveyed in the SL gets lost in translation if you don't add extra words in the TL. The hardest part of translation is to stay as close as possible to the SL whilst still conveying the same meaning in the TL. Don't add extra words in the TL unless it is necessary in order to convey the meaning of the SL (this is especially important for official translations/professional translators).
Ex. 네가 슬픈 노래를 합니다. Koreans don't say 네가 슬픈 노래를 노래합니다, and "you do a sad song" sounds strange in English, so it should be translated to "you sing a sad song." It is correct English and the meaning of the Korean sentence is conveyed. This is only a simple example though, it is much harder when you run into a word that does not have a perfect translation in English (such as 한, 정, and 눈치.)
Guys if you go to the website they explain all this stuff before you start. They just dont have it set on the mobiles app like they do for chinese

You know sometimes I sit and wonder where duolingo gets inspiration for their scentences from :-)
I can find many people using both
"노래를합니다" and " 노래합니다". Are they both correct?
They are both correct, 노래를 합니다 (leave a space between because it's two separate words) literally means 'do a song' and 노래합니다 means 'sing'. But really they both mean sing and there's no difference
So is '함니다' just emphasis or does it finish off the sentence or does it actually mean something?
First, it's written as 합니다....second, I think it means do... So if your saying 저는 노래를 합니다... It would literally mean I do (the action) singing... This was just a guess... :)
I am lost.. 가수가 공원에서 노래합니다 The singer sings in the park.. 저는 도서관에서 도래를 합니다 i sing at the library.... So why in the first sentence is it all together like 도래합니다 sings but in the second sentence it is followed by 를... 도래를 합니다? Can anyone help me to understand it a little bit more on why it's like this please.
I would recommend defining each letter of the hangul as their own sound because none of the sounds are quite English
Why is it '노래를 합니다' and not '노래 합니다'? What is the purpose of the particle '를' after '노래'?
wouldn't this be I sing a song at a library.... it is marked as incorrect. thanks~
The most literal translation would be "I do a song at the library", since 합니다 just means "do" not "sing"
Is there an another word in Korean for "sing", except this "누래 합니다" (make song)
Can you also say 저는 도서관에서 노래합니다 without the 를 ? I'm still confused about the 를 lol.
yeah you used the wrong english grammar it's "I sing at the library", not "sings"
Why in the previous question the particle 를/을 is omitted, but not in the question?
I better start studying korean harder so I could go work as a librarian in korea. The FBI cant relate to this amount of action.

How do the teach non English speakers the use of articles ex, "I'm going to the library" vs "I'm going to school?" Why is "the" required in front of "library" but not "school"?
Why is the verb 'sing'written as if it's an object? I mean, why is it written with the 'reul' at the end of 'norae'

노래하다 is the verb but it can be split to 노래를 합니다 which means the same thing just conjugated formally
