“We are not nouns, we are verbs. I am not a thing - an actor, a writer - I am a person who does things - I write, I act - and I never know what I am going to do next. I think you can be imprisoned if you think of yourself as a noun.”

—Stephen Fry

How to Conjugate Verbs in Korean

For our example, we’ll use the verb 가다 (to go). ‘가’ is the verb stem & ‘다’ means it is in dictionary form.

Honorific Conjugation
To conjugate it informally, you would drop the 다 and then leave it the way it is. To make it polite, you would add 요 to the end, making it ‘가요’. For the differential form, you add ~ㅂ니다 attached to the end. This makes the verb ‘갑니다’. The honorific form involves adding 시 to the previous form, making it ’가십니다’.

Conjugating in Tenses
Present tense for “I go” is simply ‘가요’. To conjugate the past tense, you add ~ㅆ어요 toindicate that the action has completed, thus it becomes ‘갔어요’. For the future tense, you add ~ㄹ거예요 to make the verb ‘갈거예요’.
