Grammar 2 (Verb-(으)ㄴ/는/(으)ㄹ + N)
Verb-(으)ㄴ/는/(으)ㄹ + N
In this week, we studied how to explain the meaning of anniversary. However, the grammar ‘Verb-(으)ㄴ/는/(으)ㄹ’ was used to describe nouns. This grammar is used in different forms depending on the verb tense.
First, the past of the verb is combined with the form ‘-(으)ㄴ’. And the present ‘-는’ and the future ‘-(으)ㄹ’ are combined.
For example, when the verb “받다(receive)” modifies the noun “선물(gift),” it means “받았다 + 선물 → 받은 선물” in the past, “받다 + 선물 → 받는 선물” in the present, and it will be “receive” in the future, “받을 거다 + 선물→받을 선물”. Detailed usage methods are summarized in the table below.
| 동사의 과거(the past of a verb) | 받침x, ‘ㄹ’ Verb | -ㄴ | 본 영화, 만든 케이크 |
| 받침o | -은 | 입은 옷 | |
| 동사의 현재(the present of a verb) | 받침x, ‘ㄹ’ Verb | -는 | 보는 드라마, 만드는 음식 |
| 받침o | -는 | 입는 옷 | |
| 동사의 미래(The future of the verb) | 받침x, ‘ㄹ’ Verb | -ㄹ | 볼 영화, 만들 음식 |
| 받침o | -을 | 입을 옷 |
