Korean Verbs: Past Tense Group 4

Group 4: 오and 우 verbs without an ending consonant

        If a verb stem ends with an  오or 우 you need to change it to a  왔 or 웠 respectively and add 어요 .

For example: “작년에 샤이니가 토론토 를오다”  →  “작년에 샤이니가 토론토 를 왔어요” (Last Year SHINee came to Toronto)

Here’s a few more examples

나는 토론토에서 샤이니의 콘서트를 봤어요 (I saw SHINee’s concert in Toronto)

온유가 태민에게 포옹을 줬어요(Onew gave Taemin a hug)

샤이니가 춤을 배웠어요. (SHINee learned the dance)

ㅈIn English, we use the progressive tense very commonly, and it’s just as useful in Korean. The progressive tense is used any time you want to indicate that an action or state is ongoing. For example:

Of course, it can be used in more than just the present tense. We also have past progressive:

And we have future progressive as well:

So how do we make these kinds of sentences in Korean? There are a few simple ways.

Simple present tense

Unlike in English, simple present tense in Korean can sometimes be read with a progressive meaning. Simply conjugate your verb in whatever formality level you see fit in the present tense, and you’re done! For example:

In this short dialogue, we have two verbs conjugated in low-formality 해체/반말 in the simple present tense, but we can read them as progressive.

Again, we have simple present tense, but in mid-formality 해요체.

Simple present tense as progressive is commonly used when, as seen above, someone asks what someone else is doing.

-고 있다

-고 있다 is the most commonly used way to form progressive sentences to indicate that an action is ongoing. Simply add -고 있다 to the root of the verb and conjugate 있다 as normal. 

PAST: 

PRESENT:

FUTURE:

-아/어 있다

-아/어 있다 is used to indicate that a state is ongoing. Rather than someone or something actively doing something, that person or thing is continuously existing in a particular state.  

PAST

PRESENT

FUTURE

-는 중이다

This grammatical form literally means “to be in the middle of” something. Simply attach it to the root of your action verb of choice!

PAST

PRESENT

FUTURE
