Summary of the thesis results: Verb phrases (also called verbs) are a type of main and secondary phrases, in which the central element is the verb and the secondary elements have the function of adding meaning about manner, degree, time, location... to that central verb. In Vietnamese verbs, the main element is in the central position, the secondary elements are distributed on both sides of the main element in front (usually adverbs) and behind (usually real words). In Korean verbs, the main element is always in the last position, all types of secondary elements are placed before the main element. In addition to the difference in word order, verb phrases in Korean and Vietnamese also differ in the means of expressing meaning in tense, modality, etc. We chose the topic "Comparing and contrasting the structure of verb phrases in Korean and Vietnamese" to find out the similarities and differences in structure as well as the means of expressing meaning of verb phrases in Korean and Vietnamese, making it easier to teach and learn the two languages. The study focuses on analyzing and comparing the structure of verb phrases in Korean and Vietnamese in terms of structure, methods of expressing grammatical meaning, tense, modality, etc. The study uses some of the following methods: The method of component analysis is used to analyze the structure of verb phrases in Korean and Vietnamese as the research object. The method of comparison and contrast is to compare the characteristics of verb phrases in the two languages on the general structural level. In addition to the introduction and conclusion, the thesis is divided into three chapters as follows: Chapter I: Theoretical basis Chapter II: Verb structure in Korean and Vietnamese Chapter III: Comparative analysis of word order in Korean and Vietnamese verbs The study aims to find similarities and differences in general structure, methods of expressing grammatical meaning, tense, modality... of Korean and Vietnamese verb phrases to help in teaching and learning Korean, helping to find an approach to the thinking and expression of native speakers. In addition, the study also creates the premise and basis for future grammatical studies.
