 Module 8- What did you do yesterday?
Verbs and Adjectives: Past Tense Endings

Verbs or Adjective Stem +(았/었)어 (Casual)

Verb or Adjective Stem +(았/었)어요 (Polite)
Verb or Adjective Stem +{으}셨어요 (Honorific)

1) Casual form
The past tense endings consist of the present tense ending +(아/어) and +ㅆ어. So to create a past tense verb or
adjective, simply add +ㅆ어 to the present tense form:
(Present) (Past)
+ 아 + ㅆ어  + 았어

+ 어 + ㅆ어  + 었어

+ 해 + ㅆ어  + 했어

• If the last vowel of the stem is ㅏ or ㅗ: +았어

살 + 았어  살았어 lived

맑 + 았어  맑았어 was/were fine (weather)

When the stem ends with the vowel ㅏ, only +ㅆ어 is added:

가 + ㅆ어  갔어 went

싸 + ㅆ어  쌌어 was/were inexpensive

When the stem ends with the vowel ㅗ, it is combined with 았:

오 + 았어  왔어 came

When the stem ends in the vowel ‘ㅡ’, it is dropped.

나쁘 + 았어  나빴어 was/were bad (The dropping of ‘ㅡ’ makes 아 in 나ㅃ the last

vowel.)
• If the last vowel is not ㅏ or ㅗ: +었어

먹 + 었어  먹었어

재미있 + 었어  재미있었어 was/were interesting/fun

When the stem ends in a vowel, the vowel is usually combined with +었:

주 + 었어 줬어 gave

흐리 + 었어 흐렸어 was/were cloudy

FINAL-MODULE-8 4
 Module 8- What did you do yesterday?

When the stem ends in the vowel ‘ㅡ’, it is dropped.

크 + 었어 컸어 was/were big

• If the stem ends in 하: 하  했어

공부하  공부했어 studied

행복하  행복했어 was/were happy

• If the stem ends in the consonant ㅂ and the last vowel is not ㅗ: delete ㅂ +웠어

쉽  delete ㅂ + 웠어  쉬웠어 was/were easy

• If the stem ends in the consonant ㅂ and the last vowel is ㅗ: delete ㅂ +왔어

곱  delete ㅂ + 왔어  고왔어 was/were fair/pretty

2) Polite form
Polite form is constructed in the same way as casual from except that you add 요 at the end.

살 + 았어  살았어 + 요  살았어요

맑 + 았어  맑았어 + 요  맑았어요

먹 + 었어  먹었어 + 요  먹었어요

재미있 + 었어  재미있었어 + 요  재미있었어요

공부하  공부했어 + 요  공부했어요

행복하  행복했어 + 요  행복했어요

쉽  쉬웠어 + 요  쉬웠어요

곱  고왔어 + 요  고왔어요

3) Honorific form
To create the honorific past tense form, instead of the present tense form +{으}세요, you add +{으}셨어요 to
the verb stem.

FINAL-MODULE-8 5
 Module 8- What did you do yesterday?

• If the stem ends in a vowel: +셨어요

공부하 + 셨어요  공부하셨어요 studied

만나 + 셨어요  만나셨어요 met

가 + 셨어요  가셨어요 went

오 + 셨어요  오셨어요 came

바쁘 + 셨어요  바쁘셨어요 was busy

똑똑하 + 셨어요  똑똑하셨어요 was smart

• If the stem ends in a consonant except ㅂ: +으셨어요

입 + 으셨어요  입으셨어요 put on; wore

읽 + 으셨어요  읽으셨어요 read

재미있 + 으셨어요  재미있으셨어요 was funy

좋 + 으셨어요  좋으셨어요 was good

• If the stem ends in the consonant ㅂ: delete ㅂ +우셨어요

아름답  delete ㅂ  아름다우셨어요 was/were

+ 우셨어요 beautiful

귀엽  delete ㅂ  귀여우셨어요 was/were

+ 우셨어요 cute

You also need to remember a special set of honorific verbs and adjectives:
드세요  드셨어요 took; ate; drank

잡수세요  잡수셨어요 ate

계세요  계셨어요 was (there)

말씀하세요  말씀하셨어요 spoke; said

주무세요  주무셨어요 slept

나았어 [낫 recover +았어(casual past tense ending)] got better

못 ‘cannot’ or ‘did not’ because of inability – unintentionally

You have already seen how you create a negative sentence by using the negative word 안, e.g. 저는 안 갔어
요 (I didn’t go). If you change 안 to 못, the sentence becomes 저는 못 갔어요 (I couldn’t go).
Examples:
(1) 옆집에서 파티를 했어요. There was a party next door.

그래서 어제 밤에 So I couldn’t sleep well

잠을 잘 못 잤어요. last night.

(2) 나 내일 수업에 못 와. I can’t come to class tomorrow.

내일 면접 시험 있어. I have a job interview.

(3) 나 감기 걸렸어. I’ve got a cold.

그래서 내일 못 만나.1 So I can’t meet you tomorrow.

(4) 시험을 잘 못 봤어요. 2 I didn’t do well in the exam.

그래서 기분이 별로 안 좋아요. So I don’t feel too good.

(5) A: 어제 공부했어? Did you study yesterday?

B: 저녁에 친구가 놀러 왔어. A friend came over to my place

그래서, 못 했어. 3 in the evening. So I couldn’t.

Note 1: 못 만나 is pronounced mon-man-na.

Note 2: In English we use the word ‘didn’t’ rather than the word ‘couldn’t’. But in Korean, if there is some
external reason that is preventing you from doing something, you always use the negative word 못. When you
use 안, it implies that you intentionally choose not to do something. Thus, 못 is used far more often than
“cannot” is used in English.)
Note3: 못 했어 is pronounced mo-t’aessoe.

+거든(요) ‘It's because ..., (you know)’
You use ‘+거든(요)’ to provide a reason for an action or situation. This is a sentence ending which is often
used in everyday conversation. It can be translated in English as “It's because..., (you know)”, however, this
would be often omitted because the meaning will usually be quite clear from context.
Present Past Future
Verb or Adjective +거든 +(았/었)거든 +{을/ㄹ} 거거든

Noun +{이}거든 +{이었/였}거든 +{일/ㄹ} 거거든

전화했었는데 [전화하 make a phone call 전화했 +었 (past tense infix) +는데] called...
(When Minseo’s mother tells Minseo that she called this afternoon, she uses the verb
ending 전화했었는데. This places an emphasis on her action. If she had just said
전화했는데, it would describe what she did, but with a nuance indicating that it was
no big deal.)

‘(together) with’. You can omit 같이, with not much difference
in meaning.)
A: 어디 살아요? Where do you live?

B: 신사동에 살아요. I live in Shinsa-dong.

A: 혼자 살아요? Do you live on your own?

B: 아니요, 한국 친구하고 같이 살아요. No, I live with a Korean friend.

FINAL-MODULE-8 18
 Module 8- What did you do yesterday?

그리고 and +고 ‘and’; ‘and then’

그리고 can be used to connect two sentences. It is placed at the beginning of the second sentence and operates
like the English ‘And’ or ‘And then’:

(1) 수미는 음악 들어요. Sumi is listening to music.

그리고 철민이는 책 읽어요.* And Cheolmin is reading a book.

(*In colloquial speech, it is common to add 이 when a person’s first name ends in a consonant: 철민+이.
This should not be done with seniors or in formal situations. )

(2) 수미는 저녁 먹었어요. 그리고 다시 나갔어요.

Sumi ate her dinner. And then she went out again.

The sentences can describe two independent actions as in the first example, or alternatively, two actions in a
time sequence as in the second example. Note that when the subjects of the two sentences are different, you use
the topic particle +{은/는} since you are contrasting them as in (1).

As in English, you can also combine these sentences and make them into one. To do this, instead of using 그리
고, you add the ending +고 to the stem of the first verb:

(3) 수미는 음악 듣고* Sumi is listening to music and

철민이는 책 읽어요. Cheolmin is reading a book.

(*The verb 들어요 in (1) is irregular, with the stem 듣.)

(4) 수미는 저녁 먹고 Sumi ate her dinner and then

다시 나갔어요. went out again.

Even though the two sentences in (4) are in past tense, when we join them with +고, we do not use the past
tense form in the first clause, but only in the final clause. That is, we do not say, 먹었고 (wrong).

(5) 저 식당은 싸고 That restaurant is cheap and

음식이 맛있어요. the food is delicious.

As you can see from example (5), you can also use +고 to link clauses that end in an adjective, and the rule is
exactly the same as for verbs.
More examples:
(6) 나는 피아노 치고 I played the piano and

우리 오빠는 노래 불렀어. my older brother sang.

FINAL-MODULE-8 19
 Module 8- What did you do yesterday?
(7) 주말에 집에서 텔레비전 보고 On the weekend, I watched TV at

한국어 공부했어. home and then studied Korean.

(8) 어제 친구 만나고 I met a friend and then came

여섯 시쯤 집에 왔어요. home around six o’clock yesterday.

(9) 저녁 먹고 I came back home

집에 왔어요.* after eating dinner.

(*This structure can also be used to emphasise that you did not just do the second action, but did something
first. For example, a mum might ask her son, “Have you had dinner?” upon his arrival at home in the evening,
to which he may reply, “먹고 왔어요.” to emphasise that he ate before coming home.)

Three ‘ands’: +하고, +고 and 그리고

1) +하고 is a particle used to join nouns together:

사과하고 오렌지

민서하고 지훈

2) +고 is an ending used to join verbs or adjectives:

텔레비전 보고 공부해요.

아담하고 예뻐요. (petite and pretty)

3) 그리고 is a transitional word used to connect two sentences:

저녁을 먹었어요. 그리고 다시 나갔어요.
