Descriptive verbs conjugate
Explanation
Korean descriptive verbs (adjectives) conjugate: 커요, 좋아요, 예뻐요 — not 이다 + adjective.
Noun identity uses 이다: 학생이에요. Description uses descriptive endings.
Past: 좋았어요. Negative long form: 좋지 않아요.
This is why “is pretty” is 예뻐요, not 예쁜 이에요 in basic speech.

- Say every example out loud, then change one slot (place, time, or person) to force production — not only recognition.
- After reading, open Chamelingo and recycle the same pattern in a lesson or speaking practice so it enters long-term memory.
