"오늘 시험은 통과했습니다."

Translation: I passed the exam today.

Why is it 은 and not 을?

[BrettySpaghetti]

I don't know exactly when this happens or why, but sometimes 는/은 is used as an object marker. One thing I noticed is it seems this happens sometimes when the object is being emphasized.

en can make a sentence to have a certain nuance. Using el, the listner may simply reply 'okay' but if saying it with emphasizing en, the listner may reply 'what do you mean EN?' - making them question what happened to tomorrow or yesterday's test - or if there's any other problem besides passing the test. It's different by the context.

"i passed an exam today"

Is there a difference between just "I" and "I will" in this context?

[junhoon]

했습니다 means this happened in the past. If you want it in the future it would be 오늘 시험은 동과할 거예요.
