THE USE OF 하다, 다,

먹다 is the dictionary form of the verb "to eat." The dictionary form consists of the verb root, 먹 in this example, and the 다 ending . You will see all forms they list end in 다. If you remove the 다 ending, you will be left with the verb root. The verb root of 먹다 is 먹. The verb root by itself has no meaning. You must remove the 다 ending and replace it with a different ending depending on what you want to say and who you want to say it to.

English	Verb Root	Dictionary Form	Polite Ending	Casual Ending	Formal Ending
To Have	있	있다	있어요	있어	있습니다
To Be Good	좋	좋다	좋아요	좋아	좋습니다
To Go	가	가다	가요	가	갑니다
To Not Have	없	없다	없어요	없어	없습니다
To Do	하	하다	해요	해	합니다

있다 means "to have." 있 is the verb root. The last vowel in 있 is ㅣ. Since this is not ㅗ or ㅏ then we know to choose the 어요/어 endings depending on whether we will need to be polite or if it is casual speech.

없다 (~업다) has a verb root of 없. The final vowel in this root is ㅓ, so we need to choose the 어요/어 endings.


If you look at 좋다, this has a verb root of 좋 with a final vowel of ㅗ. So, since that is ㅗ or ㅏ, it must take the 아요/아 ending
가다 means "to go". If you remove the 다 to get the verb root you are left with 가. Following this pattern, you would add 아요/아 to the verb root, and get something like 가아요. The real way is just 가요. It has been shortened because otherwise we just say two of the same vowel in a row. Since that is a waste of time and breath, it is simply 가요 or 가.



하다 This is a very common verb in any language. This one verb is irregular all on it's own. It doesn't follow a pattern, and you just need to memorize the case. It shouldn't be too hard because you will see this all over the place. 하다 has a root of 하. The polite form is 해요 and the casual form is 해
