이야 | Informal Low Respect |
이다 | To be |
었다 | Past tense plain form |
이었다 can merge to 였다 | when the noun that it is being attached to ends in a vowel |
이에요 | to a word ending in a consonant |
예요 | to a word ending in a vowel |
입니다 | With words ending in vowels, you can eliminate ~이 and attach ~ㅂ니다 directly to the word. This is more commonly done in conversation, and not usually written. When conjugating “아니다” in this respect, you must add “~ㅂ니다” directly to “아니다.” |

ㄹ/을 | For verbs or adjectives, when conjugating into the future tense, you must first add ~ㄹ/을 to the stem of the word. |
겠 | When you add ~ㄹ/을 to a word stem, ~ㄹ gets attached directly to stems ending in a vowel, and ~을 gets added onto stems ending in a consonant. |
행복한 사람 | Happy person |
행복할 사람 | A person will be happy |
먹을 음식 | The food that will be eaten |
저는 밥을 먹을 것이예요 | I will eat rice |
저는 밥을 먹을 거예요 | I will eat rice |
것 | 것 is also sometimes shortened to 거, for no other reason than it is easier to say and creates a shorter sentence. |
나는 내일 친구를 만날 것이야 | I will meet my friend tomorrow |
나는 내일 친구를 만날 거야 | I will meet my friend tomorrow |
ㄹ irregular | when you add ~ㄹ/을 to a stem of a word that ends in ㄹ, the ㄹ is dropped and ㄹ is attached directly to the stem. In effect, you removed something and replace it with exactly the same thing. |
되다 | Conjugating 이다 to the future tense is the same as is done above, but it is also possible to use another verb; 되다. 되다 is one of the hardest words in Korean, mainly because it has so many meanings. |
저는 선생님이 되었어요 | I will become a teacher soon |
저는 곧 선생님이 될 것입니다 | I will be a teacher soon |
나는 미래에 의사가 될 거야 | I will become a doctor in the future |
