-(으)ㄹ게 (review)
I'll … (a promise)
-(으)ㄹ게요 from Level 2 promises what you yourself will do. Without 요, -(으)ㄹ게 is the 반말 version, for close friends and family — Hoya says it to his great-grandmother the way grandchildren often talk to grandparents they are close to. It is only ever about your own action: never in a question, never with -시-, never about someone else.
Examples
이제 내가 읽을게.
I'll read it now.
답장은 한글로 쓸게요.
I'll write the reply in Hangul.
도착하는 대로 연락할게.
I'll message you as soon as I get there.
