It was amazing that they participated in the show in Korean 🇰🇷

Sentence info.

The sentence is divided into three main parts:

1. "그들이 쇼에" – "그들" means “them” (or “they” when used with the subject marker), and the subject marker "이" is added, making "그들이" (“they”). "쇼에" uses the locative particle "에" to indicate the place (“in/at the show”).

2. "참여했다는것이" – This part creates a noun clause representing “the fact that they participated.”
 • "참여했다" is the past form of "참여하다" (“to participate”).
 • The pattern "-다는" is used to turn the clause into an indirect quotation or noun modifier.
 • "것" means “thing,” hence "참여했다는것" means “the thing that (they) participated” or more naturally, “the fact that they participated.”
 • The subject marker "이" attaches to "것" to make it the subject of the main sentence.

3. "놀라웠습니다" – This is the past honorific form of "놀라다" (“to be surprised/amazed”), meaning “was amazing.”

Tips to remember:
• Use -다는 to convert a clause into a noun clause when referring to facts or ideas as a whole.
• The structure follows “[Noun Clause] + subject marker + main verb” to describe that concept.
• Familiarize yourself with particle usage: "이" for subjects attached to nouns or nouns turned phrases, and "에" for indicating location.

Alternate ways to express the idea:
• "그들이 쇼에 참여한 것이 놀라웠습니다."
 (Using the attributive form "참여한" directly instead of the whole "-했다는" clause)
• "그들이 쇼에 참여했다니 정말 대단했습니다."
 (Using the ending "-다니" after a statement to express surprise)

Romanized versions:
