This week I worked on past tense verb conjugations as well as continued to work on present tense verb conjugations. I used an article from Talk to me in Korean, Level 8 lesson 9, that discusses the basic past tense verb conjugations. I then used Learn Korean Languages and their section on Verb Tenses and this really helped me understand the present tense verb conjugation. I also used the Rieul Korean app that provides tests for verb conjugations for past tense. The app helped me test my past and present tense verb conjugations. Past tense verb conjugations are harder than present tense verb conjugations because I don’t know how the final verb turns out after I place the 샀어요. For example, 사 + -았어요 would have thought 았어요 comes after 사 to make 사았어요 but it was 샀어요. The 사 and 았 are combined. This is the hard part for me when it comes to putting the two together. It is easier to remember that adding 았어요 means conjugating it into a past tense form but the actual conversion is hard.
