"I sometimes do not go to school."

Translation: 저는 가끔 학교를 안 가요.

[JosueJimen542039]

Why is it 학교를 and not 학교에/학교로?

[Ash-Fred]

Both are correct and synonymous. With 가다 or 오다, 을/를 can be used for emphasis. However, a space is missing between 안 and 가요, so I fixed it. We are sorry for the confusion.

Thanks for all your contribution. The course seems to be much better now.

[PaulHavig1]

Thank-you for the clarification. I had thought that 을/를 were object markers . . . so apparently in the "English" sense, they are not always object markers (you can't really "go" a school")

Go to school:

학교를 가다 ~ attend school (purpose: school, to get an education)

학교에 가다 ~ commute/travel to school (destination: school)

학교로 가다 ~ head towards school (direction: school. School might not be the final destination).

[ConnonThom]

Definitely makes it clearer, thanks

So both 를 and 에 are fine

Shouldn't it be 학교에... 학교로...

[Martin9630]

I wrote it without 저는 and it wasn't accepted

[stardustbunny]

Same and I'm a native speaker; I wouldn't ever add 저는 since it is already implied from the sentence that I'm the speaker.

[oee16]

Just out of interest. In sentences such as

▪ "전염병 때문에 저는 가끔 학교를 안 가지만 그들은 여전히 가요." (Because of the pandemic I sometimes do not go to school, but they still do.), could "저는" be omitted?

• "수영하러 해변에 갈 예정입니다" (... due to go to the beach to swim). How do learners know whether Speaker is speaking for himself (in that case, '저는') or he is reminding others of a common plan (in that case, '우리는')?

Thanks.

Doesn't 가끔 mean often?

가끔 = Sometimes; 자주 = Often. Source: Duolingo tips and Naver Dictionary.
