Subject particle, Object particle & Verb (Present tense) in Korean
가. Basic verb stem: Basic form of all verbs ends in ‘~다’. It also can be used in the dictionary form. We call the main part except ‘~다’ as “Basic Verb Stem” and “Verb Ending”. Usually ‘Verb Stem’ does not change, but ‘Verb Ending’ changes its form and has many meanings. 이다, 가다, 먹다, 쇼핑하다.....
나. Object particle : ~을/를 come after a noun and shows the object of the verb in the sentence.
보기(e.g.): 저는 한국 음악을 좋아해요.
다. Directional marker or locative particle ~에(to, toward, at, in, on, to for, per) is attached to place, time and counting unit. In this chapter, ~ 에 is used for indicating the location you are going to.
보기(e.g.):
한국에 가요. 싱가포르에 와요.
머라이언이 센토사에 있어요. 집에 초대해요.
~에서(from,at,in)
한국에서 왔어요. (I am from Korea)
한국에서 한국말을 공부해요. (I study Korean in Korea.)
Present tense: when basic verb stem ends with 아,오 then you need to combine with 아요, 어/우/으/이 with 어요 and 하 with, 해요 respectively.
Action verb changes with present tense
