There are many grammar points in Korean language that have similar meanings and functions. Thus, learners have countless difficulties in distinguishing and using those grammars in discourse. The description of similar grammar lessons in Korean textbooks and grammar books are only a part of the whole description of that individual grammar, and it solely teaches the semantical differences. Furthermore, there is also the problem that the results of the previous studies are not reflected in the descriptions of grammar, and that, if reflected, the descriptions are vague and do not provide meaningful explanations to help the process of understanding. Therefore, the purpose of the study is to focus on the similar speculative expressions ‘-l kes katta’ and ‘-na pota’, and prepare a new comparative description of similar grammar points for intermediate and advanced learners. First, it reviewed previous studies to reveal the semantic and syntactical differences between the two expressions. Then it analyzed descriptions of each individual expression and similar expressions in Korean textbooks and grammar books to examine whether the results of previous studies were reflected or not, and to point out some problems in those descriptions. Finally, based on those discussions, a new comparative description was provided.
