past,future and present tense in korean
i have learned in howtostudykorean.com that there are past,future and present that are not used when talking to someone instaed the are used in newspapers,diaries and weather repports :

present:
When the last syllable of the stem ends in a consonant, you add ~는다 to the stem of the word:

먹다 = 먹는다 = to eat (먹 + 는다)
닫다 = 닫는다 = to close (닫 + 는다)

When the last syllable of the stem ends in a vowel, you add ~ㄴto the last syllable followed by 다

배우다 = 배운다 = to learn (배우 + ㄴ다)
이해하다 = 이해한다 = to understand (이해하 + ㄴ다)

past:

add~는다 if the stem ends in a consonant and ~ㄴ다 if the stem ends in a vowel

future:
add ~겠다 to the stem of a word

so what is the conjucation you use when talking to someone ?
