────────────────────────────
Word-by-word breakdown:
 • 아이들 (ai-deul): “children” (아이 means “child” and 들 is a plural marker)
 • 이 (i): subject particle attached to 아이들, marking “the children” as the subject
 • 숙제 (suk-je): “homework”
 • 를 (reul): object particle marking 숙제 as the object of the verb
 • 했으면 (hae-sseo-myeon): conditional form of 하다 (“to do”); literally “if (they) did” or “if (the homework is) done”
 • 좋겠어요 (jok-ke-sseo-yo): “would be good” or “I hope (it) is good”; expresses the speaker’s wish or hope

Complete literal translation: “If the children have done the homework, it would be good.” Commonly rendered in English as “I hope the children have done the homework.”

Tips to remember:
 • 아이들 uses 들 to indicate plurality, so remember that adding 들 turns a singular noun into its plural form.
 • Particle choices (이 for the subject, 를 for the object) are attached directly to the noun, so the noun order is preserved.
 • 했으면 is made by taking the past tense of 하다, which is 했어요, and adding ~으면 to form a condition (“if did”); note that ~으면 is used after both 아/어 verbs.
 • 좋겠어요 comes from 좋다 (“to be good”), and ~겠어요 is a way to form a polite expression of hope or wish.
