1강. 과거 모음 규칙은 현재와 같다
과거 시제: -았/었- · 6분
Good news: Korean past tense has no new rules to memorize.
If a verb took -아요, its past is -았어요.
If it took -어요, its past is -었어요.
And 하다 verbs? Just like 해요, they become 했어요.
가다 (to go)가요 · 갔어요
보다 (to see)봐요 · 봤어요
먹다 (to eat)먹어요 · 먹었어요
읽다 (to read)읽어요 · 읽었어요
공부하다 (to study)공부해요 · 공부했어요
Notice the pattern: you simply slip -ㅆ- underneath the vowel of the present tense.
가요 → 갔어요 · 봐요 → 봤어요 · 해요 → 했어요
Every single verb you learned in Stage 1 is now a past tense verb you can already say.
어제 친구를 만났어요.I met a friend yesterday. 만나다 → 만났어요
주말에 영화를 봤어요.I watched a movie on the weekend. 보다 → 봤어요
어제 밥을 맛있게 먹었어요.I ate a delicious meal yesterday. 먹다 → 먹었어요
