Modifying Nouns with Verb
When a verb is used to modify a noun, the verb must first be changed (into verb conjugation) before it can be combined with the noun to be modified.
The following is an explanation of how to change verbs and existential conjugations.
Present conjugation of verbs and existential words
The conjugation used when the tense of the verb or existential word is in the present tense.
verb or existential word stem ＋ 는
existential word
있다 = be
없다 = not be
Example
움직이는 차
moving car
맛있는 케이크
delicious cake
만드는 요리
making dishes
쉬는 시간
Break time
Past conjugation of verbs and existential words
The conjugation used when the tense of the verb or existential word is in the past tense.
verb or existential word stem ＋ ㄴ/은
if the stem ends with consonant, use 은
if the stem ends with vowel, useㄴ
Example
먹은 빵
the bread that was eaten
읽은 책
the book that was read
듣는 음악
the music have heard
간 장소
the place that have been to
Conclusion
- Use conjugation when modifying nouns with verbs and existential words.
- Pay attention to the tense when using the conjugation, as the present tense is different from the past tense.
