Detailed Explanation
- The first clause (usually a negative influence on the second) describes the reason or cause for the second clause
- Equivalent to "Unfortunately, as a result of..."
Usage
- ONLY used with verbs
- Second clause is ALWAYS past tense (because it's describing something that has happened)
- Don't: use positive clauses - it sounds unnatural - this expression is for negative things that have happened (but very rarely something positive can be said - only if it was completely unexpected or unintended)
- Don't: use propositions/imperative forms
- Difference: ~아/어서 = a simple reason, ~는 바람에 = an unintended result
