I need some help about 은, 는 and 이, 가. My Korean lessons goes very well but theres one thing I can't understand. I almost read lessons like 3 time but still can't get when and where to use 은, 는, 이, 가. If someone explain it to me clearly it would be amazing! Thanks a lot.

The answer above is great. The only thing I'll add is this: 은 and 는 are the same, and the character before determines when to use each one. Ex: 지원은 uses "은" because 원 ends in a consonant ㄴ. 지나는 uses "는" because 나 ends in a vowel ㅏ. 이 and 가 are the same: 지원이 uses "이" because 원 ends in a consonant ㄴ. 지나가 uses "가" because 나 ends in a vowel ㅏ. The easiest way to remember it is, if the character has symbols on the bottom row, called 받침 in Korean, then you use 이 and 은.

Quoted from http://www.italki.com/question/250760 1. '이/가' is used for emphasizing a main subject. it could be used as an answer of "누가". ex) "누가 청소했니?" "철수가 청소했어." focused on "철수" 2. '은/는'은 is used for emphasizing an act of a subject. ex) "영희는 교실에서 공부해" focused on "공부해" 3. '이/가' is used for the first introduction of main character. ex) 옛날 옛날에 할아버지와 할머니가 살았습니다. 그 노부부는 자식이 없었는데~ 4. '은/는' is used for reference of the above-mentioned character. ex) 옛날 옛날에 할아버지와 할머니가 살았습니다. 그 노부부는 자식이 없었는데~ 5. '은/는'is used for comparison ex) 나는 밥은 좋아하지만 빵은 좋아하지 않는다. 이것은 저것보다 크다.
