Important Verbs and Conjugations for Beginner Korean Learners

Korean verbs are incredibly versatile and can be applied in different contexts!

Using Verbs in Different Contexts

Each Korean verb has a standard dictionary form that serves as the foundation for all conjugations.

While irregular verbs break these standard patterns and conjugate differently, regular Korean verbs follow predictable patterns as they transform into past, present, and future tenses, making them easier to master once you understand the rules.
