Question

영어는 조금 할 줄 압니다 -(으)ㄹ 줄 알다/모르다 is a pattern expressing the subject's ability to do something or knowledge on how to do something. The pattern consists of the prospective modifier -(으)ㄹ followed by the noun 줄 ('the way', 'the fact') and the verb 알다 ('to know') or 모르다 ('to not know') in the present tense form.The -ㄹ 줄 알-/모르- form attaches to verb stems ending in a vowel or ㄹ, and the -을 줄 알-/모르- form follows stems ending in a consonant.Attached to a verb stem with the 알다/모르다 part in the present tense form, the pattern expresses the same meaning as -(으)ㄹ 수 있다/없다 in its 'ability marker' usage. The meaning of -(으)ㄹ 줄 알다/모르다 corresponds to 'know how to' and 'don't know how to'. The fact of (not) knowing how to do something implies the subject's (in)ability to perform the related activity.
