Learn Korean: Verb + 줘?

Let’s take a look at the Korean sentence pattern Verb + 줘(?). We have learned the effect that 주다 (to give) has when combined with another verb in imperative case. It carries the nuance please do something for me. If I say 밥 만들어, it means make some food. If I say 밥 만들어 줘, it means (please) make some food (for me). The main verb 만들다 is conjugated into its 아/어/여 form (만들어) before adding 주다. In this pattern, it is used in a question form. We use this when someone seems unable to do something so we offer to help. It is similar to the English expression Do you want me to help you? For example, a friend of mine has lost her house keys and has been looking for them for hours. So I say Do you want me to help you find the keys? The main verb is 열쇠를 찾다 (to find the keys). We conjugate the verb stem into its 아/어/여 form (찾아) and add 주다. The actual sentence is 찾아 줘(요)? Aside from the plain form, we can also use the (으)ㄹ까요 verb ending. We say 찾아 줄까(요)?
