Weekly Korean Episode 45 – Past, present and future
8 Oct
Do you know how to pronounce past, present and future tense in Korean? It’s easy, listen to this episode and it will be clear to you. As you know, we covered the past in our last episode (remember?) so this week we add present and future tense.
PAST TENSE
Discussed last week: Simply leave the stem and add the ㅆ어요.
I ate: (먹다)
먹어 + ㅆ 어요 = 먹었어요.
I drank: (마시다)
마셔 + ㅆ 어요 = 마셨어요
I went: (가다)
가다 + ㅆ 어요 = 갔어요
PRESENT TENSE
Simply add 고 있어요 to the stam and you are set!
I am eating: (먹다)
먹 + 고 있어요 = 먹고 있어요
I am drinking: (마시다)
마시+고 있어요
I am going: (가다)
가 + 고 있어요
FUTURE TENSE
For future, you need to put ~ㄹ 거에요 behind the stam. (make it 을 거에요 in case of batchim)
I am going to eat: (먹다)
먹 + ㄹ거에요 = 먹을 거에요
I am going to drink: (마시다)
마시 + ㄹ 거에요 = 마실 거에요
I am going: (가다)
가 + ㄹ거에요 = 갈 거에요
