다음
"다음" means next in "다음 주에". It comes before a time expression to identify the following period, as in "다음 주" or "다음 달". Use it when referring to the next event or time period.
주에
"주에" means in the week or during the week in "다음 주에". The ending 에 marks the time when the presentation will happen. A common pattern is "[time]에 + action," such as a new example "월요일에 만나요" for “Let’s meet on Monday.”
짧은
"짧은" means short and describes "발표" in "짧은 발표". This form is used directly before a noun to describe its length or duration. You can reuse the pattern "짧은 + noun" for a short meeting or a short message.
발표를
"발표를" means presentation as the object of "해야 해요" in "발표를 해야 해요". The ending 를 marks the presentation as what must be done. Use "발표를 하다" when talking about giving or doing a presentation.
해야
"해야" contributes the meaning of having to do something in "발표를 해야 해요". It is followed here by "해요" to express a necessary action politely. A reusable pattern is "[action]해야 해요" for something you must do.
해요
"해요" completes the polite expression "해야 해요", meaning “have to do.” Here it makes the obligation suitable for a polite conversation between classmates or adults. The same polite form appears in many everyday statements with 하다.
완전한
"완전한" means complete or full in "완전한 문장". It describes a noun directly and contrasts with the earlier outline stage, before full sentences are written. Use "완전한 + noun" when emphasizing that something is complete rather than abbreviated.
문장을
"문장을" means sentences as the object of writing in "문장을 쓰기 전에". The ending 을 marks the sentences as what is written. A common pattern is "문장을 쓰다" for writing sentences.
쓰기

제가
"제가" means I as the subject inside "제가 공부 습관을 어떻게 바꾸었는지예요". The ending 가 identifies the person who changed the study habits. Use it when you need to make clear that you, rather than someone else, performed the action.
