    Correct Answer
    โ‘ก ๋‚ด์ผ ํŒŒํ‹ฐ์— ์•ˆ ๊ฐˆ ๊ฑฐ์˜ˆ์š”.

    Explanation
    A: ๋‚ด์ผ ํ˜„์šฐ ์”จ ์ƒ์ผ ํŒŒํ‹ฐ์— ๊ฐˆ ๊ฑฐ์˜ˆ์š”?
    = Are you going to go to Hyunwooโ€™s birthday party tomorrow?
    B: ์•„๋‹ˆ์š”. ์ €๋Š” ______________.
    = No. I am ______________.

    ๋‚ด์ผ ํŒŒํ‹ฐ์— ๊ฐˆ ๊ฑฐ์˜ˆ์š”.
    = I am going to go to the party tomorrow.
    ๋‚ด์ผ ํŒŒํ‹ฐ์— ์•ˆ ๊ฐˆ ๊ฑฐ์˜ˆ์š”.
    = I am not going to go to the party tomorrow.
    ๋‚ด์ผ ํŒŒํ‹ฐ์— ์•ˆ ๊ฐ€๊ณ  ์žˆ์–ด์š”.
    = I am not going to the party tomorrow. (This makes sense in English, but it does not in Korean because ๋‚ด์ผ (future) and -๊ณ  ์žˆ์–ด์š” (present progressive) cannot be used in one sentence.)
    ๋‚ด์ผ ํŒŒํ‹ฐ์— ์•ˆ ๊ฐ€๊ณ  ์žˆ์„ ๊ฑฐ์˜ˆ์š”.
    = I will not be going to the party tomorrow. <- This also makes sense in English
