Two questions

1) Is there a difference between 공사 and 건설?

2) Could anybody explain the ending 은가? I've had a look around on the internet but I couldn't find a clear answer.

철도건설, 왜 필요한가?
Why do we need to construct railrods?

But what is the full implication of 한가?

    Hi,
    1) In short, I can roughly say that 건설 is to a job if 공사 is to a work. 공사 is used for precise processes as I understand. 건설 is more likely to mean "to build".

    2) -는가, -ㄴ가/-은가 are the endings for interrogative sentence and used when a person asks to other person of the same or slightly younger age. However, they are also used in the relatively formal articles to unspecified mass/multitude, such as columns in newspapers. I guess it's because the writer doesn't have any idea of the readers' ages.

    Best, Hang
