In [Lesson 7](https://www.howtostudykorean.com/unit1/unit-1-lessons-1-8/unit-1-lesson-7/), you learned how irregular words change as a result of adding different additions. This is the first time you have been introduced to adding ~ㄹ/을. Let’s look at how irregulars change as a result of adding this grammatical principle. In [Lesson 7](./07-irregulars.md), you learned how irregular words change as a result of adding different additions. This is the first time you have been introduced to adding ~ㄹ/을. Let’s look at how irregulars change as a result of adding this grammatical principle.
- The ㅅ irregular, ㄷ irregular and ㅂ irregular all follow the same rules that were introduced in Lesson 7. The addition of the vowel causes a change (or elimination) of the last letter of the stem. - The ㅅ irregular, ㄷ irregular and ㅂ irregular all follow the same rules that were introduced in Lesson 7. The addition of the vowel causes a change (or elimination) of the last letter of the stem.
- The ㅡ and 르 irregular are not affected by this addition. - The ㅡ and 르 irregular are not affected by this addition.
- Adding ~ㄹ/을 to a word that follows the ㄹ irregular brings about a change you are not familiar with. Normally, you would add ~ㄹ to the stem of a word ending in a vowel, and ~을 to the stem of a word ending in a consonant. - Adding ~ㄹ/을 to a word that follows the ㄹ irregular brings about a change you are not familiar with. Normally, you would add ~ㄹ to the stem of a word ending in a vowel, and ~을 to the stem of a word ending in a consonant.
- For example: 잃다 + ~ㄹ/을 = 잃을 - For example: 잃다 + ~ㄹ/을 = 잃을
예쁘다 + ~ㄹ/을 = 예쁠 - 예쁘다 + ~ㄹ/을 = 예쁠
- However, 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. For example:갈다 + ㄹ/을 = 갈 - However, 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. For example:갈다 + ㄹ/을 = 갈
빨다 + ㄹ/을 = 빨 - 빨다 + ㄹ/을 = 빨
열다 + ㄹ/을 = 열 - 열다 + ㄹ/을 = 열

--- ## Future 이다 – Using 되다
[![|1192x292](https://www.howtostudykorean.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/Unit-1-Amazona.png)](https://www.howtostudykorean.com/amazon/) Conjugating 이다 to the future tense is the same as is done above, but it is also possible to use another verb; <TTS>되다</TTS>. 되다 is one of the hardest words in Korean, mainly because it has so many meanings. You will be introduced to each of these meanings as you progress through our lessons, but the first meaning of ‘되다’ is “to become”… which is slightly different than “to be”. Let me introduce the word “되다” to you by showing you examples of it being used in the past tense:

Which is slightly different than: Which is slightly different than:
저는 선생님이었어요 = I was a teacher
- <TTS>저는 선생님이었어요</TTS> = <span class="md spoiler">I was a teacher</span>
Very similar, but the difference between “to become” and “to be” (which in this case is in the past tense of ‘was’) is “become” suggests that prior to that time, the situation was different. I’m sure you get it, but let me describe it using English examples: Very similar, but the difference between “to become” and “to be” (which in this case is in the past tense of ‘was’) is “become” suggests that prior to that time, the situation was different.

One other quick thing; and I really don’t want to spend too much time on this because I have already overwhelmed you with grammar in this lesson. However, the future conjugation of 이다 is introduced in this lesson and I feel this needs to be talked about here. By using the future ~ㄹ/을 것이다 conjugation on 이다, you can also create a sentence where the speaker is guessing about a certain situation in the present tense.
