For today’s post, we’ll tackle conjugating verbs in the past tense, but only\u00a0in the standard polite form. Let’s take a look at this sentence: “\ud559\uad50\uc5d0 \uac14\uc5b4\uc694<\/strong>“. (\ud559\uad50<\/strong> = school. \uc5d0<\/strong> = location marking particle. \uac14\uc5b4\uc694<\/strong> = went.) In English this sentence would be, “I went to school”. The infinitive of the verb “went” is “to go” or “\uac00\ub2e4<\/strong>“. When you drop the \ub2e4<\/strong> the stem \uac00<\/strong> is left. Just add \u3146\uc5b4\uc694<\/strong> to \uac00<\/strong> to make it past tense. Now let’s try that with \ud558\ub2e4 <\/strong>verbs. \uc0ac\ub791\ud558\ub2e4<\/strong> (to love) will be \uc0ac\ub791\ud588\uc5b4\uc694<\/strong> in the past tense. For \ud558\ub2e4<\/strong> verbs, drop the \ub2e4<\/strong> and change \ud558 <\/strong>to \ud574<\/strong> and add \u3146\uc5b4\uc694<\/strong> to the stem.<\/p>\n

The irregular verbs that we’ve gone over so far are the verbs ending in \u3139<\/strong> and \u3137<\/strong>. With \u3139<\/strong> verbs like \uc5f4\ub2e4 <\/strong>(to open) it will be \uc5f4\uc5c8\uc5b4\uc694<\/strong> in the standard polite past tense. With \u3139<\/strong> ending verbs, drop the \ub2e4<\/strong> and add \uc5c8\uc5b4\uc694<\/strong> to the stem. With \u3137<\/strong> ending verbs like \ub4e3\ub2e4<\/strong> (to hear, to listen) it will be \ub4e4\uc5c8\uc5b4\uc694<\/strong> in the standard polite past tense. With \u3137<\/strong> ending verbs, drop the \ub2e4<\/strong> and change the \u3137<\/strong> on the bottom with \u3139<\/strong>. Then add \uc5c8\uc5b4\uc694<\/strong> to the stem. Ok, so here’s a test, what is the standard polite past tense of \uc0b4\ub2e4<\/strong> (to live) and \uac77\ub2e4<\/strong> (to walk)? The answers are: \uc0b4\uc558\uc5b4\uc694<\/strong> and \uac78\uc5c8\uc5b4\uc694<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Did you notice that \uc0b4\uc558\uc5b4\uc694<\/strong> didn’t follow the regular pattern? Unlike the other verbs that ended in \uc5c8\uc5b4\uc694<\/strong>, \uc0b4\uc558\uc5b4\uc694<\/strong> ended with \uc558\uc5b4\uc694<\/strong>. That’s because \uc0b4\ub2e4 <\/strong>contains an \uc544 <\/strong>vowel, which requires the verb to be conjugated in the \uc558\uc5b4\uc694<\/strong> form. Verbs like \uac77\ub2e4<\/strong>\u00a0have\u00a0the \uc5b4 <\/strong>vowel\u00a0which requires the verb to be\u00a0conjugated as \uc5c8\uc5b4\uc694<\/strong>. So, let’s do a little test, how would you conjugate \uae68\ub2eb\ub2e4<\/strong> (to realize) and \ubc1b\ub2e4<\/strong> (to receive)? \uae68\ub2eb\ub2e4<\/strong> will be \uae68\ub2ec\uc558\uc5b4\uc694<\/strong> in the standard polite past tense. However \ubc1b\ub2e4<\/strong> will be \ubc1b\uc558\uc5b4\uc694<\/strong>. Hopefully you’ve remembered from the previous posts that not all \u3137<\/strong> ending verbs change to a \u3139<\/strong> and this is true for the verb \ubc1b\ub2e4<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Now lastly, let’s look at the copula \uc774\ub2e4<\/strong>. To change \ud559\uc0dd\uc774\uc5d0\uc694<\/strong> (I’m a student) to the standard polite past tense, drop the \uc5d0\uc694<\/strong> and add \uc5c8\uc5b4\uc694<\/strong>. So \ud559\uc0dd\uc774\uc5d0\uc694<\/strong> will turn to \ud559\uc0dd\uc774\uc5c8\uc5b4\uc694<\/strong> (I was a student). With \uc18c\ub77c\uc608\uc694<\/strong> (It’s Sora) it’ll change to \uc18c\ub77c\uc600\uc5b4\uc694<\/strong> (It was Sora). With \uc608\uc694<\/strong> ending copulas, drop the \uc608\uc694<\/strong> and add \uc600\uc5b4\uc694<\/strong>. Now with \uc788\ub2e4<\/strong> endings, it will change to \uc788\uc5c8\uc5b4\uc694<\/strong> in the standard polite past tense. With the \uc544\ub2c8\ub2e4 <\/strong>(to not be etc.) it will change to \uc544\ub2c8\uc5c8\uc5b4\uc694<\/strong> in the standard polite past tense. Just drop the \ub2e4<\/strong> and add \uc5c8\uc5b4\uc694<\/strong> to \uc544\ub2c8<\/strong>. There was a lot of content in this post, so I may do a quiz on the past tense forms soon. For now just take a look at everything and see if you understand the general gist of this post.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
