Korean to English — Verb tenses for 한국어 speakers

Verb tenses for 한국어 speakers

Korean verbs carry social information about the relationship between the speaker and listener — levels of respect are built into the verb endings. English verbs carry no social information at all.

Why verb tenses matter

Using the wrong tense can confuse listeners or change meaning. Regular speaking practice with feedback helps you choose the right form automatically.
