by 이번 엠티에 못 갈 것 같은데 어떡하지?
I don't think I will be able to go to the school field trip this time, what do I do?
이번에는 교수님들도 참석하시는 것 같던데 웬만하면 같이 가자.
This time, it seems like the professor will attend as well, if you can be passable, let's go together.
나도 가고 싶긴 한데 그날 아르바이트가 늦게 끝나.
I do want to go as well, but I have ended my part-time job late that night.
그럼 아르바이트가 끝나고 와. 교수님들도 수업 때문에 후발대로 늦게 오신대.
Then come after your part-time job ends. The professors are coming late as the second party (group, team) too.
그래? 후발대로 가려면 누구한테 이야기해야 해?
Really? If I wanted to go with the second party (group, team) who do I have to talk to?
과대표가 어제부터 엠티 참석 여부를 조사하고 있던데 가서 이야기해 봐.
From yesterday, the departmental student representative has been taking a survey of whether or not who will be going to the school field trip. Try and go talking to him.
V/A+ 는/은/ㄴ 것 같던데
As it is attached to an action verb's stem or descriptive verb's stem, it is used when the speaker is asking, persuading, or suggesting as if he is speaking about what he has already seen, heard, assumed with evidence. It is combined with '-는/은/ㄴ 것 같다' and '-던데'.
'-는 것 같던데' is used at the end of an action verb's stem in '있다', '없다'. '-ㄴ것 같던데' is used for vowels or the ending with 'ㄹ' of the descriptive verb's stem. Other than that, '-은 것 같던데' is used for when it ends with a consonant of the descriptive verb's stem.
