TOPIK Practice – TOPIK I 어휘 [vocabulary] 1–5 (4/24/2026) – ann li

정답: A. 만났습니다

How to solve: The sentence describes an action between 'Ann' and 'Li' 'yesterday'. '만나다' (to meet) is the most natural verb to describe two people interacting. The past tense form '만났습니다' fits the context.

A — '만났습니다' is the past tense of '만나다' (to meet). This fits the context of Ann meeting Li yesterday.

B — '갔습니다' is the past tense of '가다' (to go). While grammatically possible, 'Ann went with Li' doesn't fit the blank as naturally as 'Ann met Li'.

C — '먹었습니다' is the past tense of '먹다' (to eat). This would imply they ate something, but the sentence doesn't specify what and the blank is for a verb describing their interaction.

D — '읽었습니다' is the past tense of '읽다' (to read). This doesn't make sense in the context of two people 'with' each other in this simple sentence structure.

정답: A. 공부합니다

How to solve: The sentence states 'Li and Ann' are 'at the library' and 'Korean'. The most appropriate action related to 'Korean' at a 'library' is 'studying'.

A — '공부합니다' is the polite form of '공부하다' (to study). Studying Korean at a library is a very common and appropriate activity.

B — '봅니다' is the polite form of '보다' (to see/watch/look). While one might 'see a Korean book', 'seeing Korean' in general at a library doesn't fit as well.

C — '삽니다' is the polite form of '사다' (to buy). People usually don't buy Korean at a library.

D — '잡니다' is the polite form of '자다' (to sleep). Sleeping at a library is generally not the primary activity described.

정답: A. 친구

How to solve: The sentence describes a relationship between Ann and Li. '친구' (friend) is the most natural and common relationship to describe between two people.

A — '친구' means friend. Ann being Li's friend is a natural and common statement.

B — '책' means book. Ann is a person, not a book.

C — '음식' means food. Ann is a person, not food.

D — '가방' means bag. Ann is a person, not a bag.

정답: A. 집

How to solve: The sentence states 'Ann goes to Li's ______ every day'. Among the options, going to someone's '집' (house) every day implies a close relationship, which is a plausible context for Ann and Li.

A — '집' means house/home. Going to someone's house every day suggests a close relationship, which fits the general context of two named individuals.

B — '학교' means school. While possible if they are classmates, '집' is a more general place to visit 'every day' in a casual context. The sentence does not specify they are students.

C — '시장' means market. It's unlikely someone would go to their friend's 'market' every day unless the friend owns one, which is not implied.

D — '병원' means hospital. Going to someone's hospital every day implies a very specific, and usually negative, situation not suggested by the simple sentence.

정답: A. 좋아합니다

How to solve: The sentence talks about Ann and Li and 'kimchi'. The most common and simple action related to food, especially kimchi, in a general context is to 'like' it.

A — '좋아합니다' is the polite form of '좋아하다' (to like). Liking kimchi is a very common statement, especially for those learning Korean culture.

B — '싫어합니다' is the polite form of '싫어하다' (to dislike). While possible, 'like' is a more neutral and common default for simple vocabulary questions.

C — '줍니다' is the polite form of '주다' (to give). While one could give kimchi, the sentence implies a direct interaction between Ann, Li, and the kimchi itself, not giving it to someone else.

D — '만듭니다' is the polite form of '만들다' (to make). While one can make kimchi, the sentence structure 'A와 B는 김치를 ___' usually implies a preference or consumption, not creation, unless specified.
