– for some reason 왜 그랬는지 모르겠는데/ 왠지
3. 길에 차가 거의 없었어.
There was almost no traffic on the road.
– there was no…무엇이 없었다
– there was almost no… 무엇이 거의 없었다
4. 8시까지 가기로 했었는데 6시 쯤에 도착해버렸어.

* go there가 아닌 be there 쓰임에 주목 *
어디까지 어디에 간다의 의미로 be there가 쓰임을 꼭 기억해 주세요.
go라는 동사는 A부터 B까지 가는 전체 과정을 의미하므로 어색한 표현이 됩니다.
