Forms of Verbs Hi, I found this chart of some conjugations of verbs, specifically, the verb 읽다: http://i59.tinypic.com/4lrbeh.jpg A few questions, if you don't mind: 1) What is an Assertive sentence/the assertive form? 2) How would you use the Motive form in a sentence? 3) Is there a Contrast or Condition form of verbs for Formal Polite speech (하십시오체)? 4) What is the Determiner form? Thanks!

1. The assertive form is used for indicating someone's intention to do something or assumption. 나는 내일 책을 읽겠다. I will read a book tomorrow. 2. motive form is used for the purpose 나는 마지막 말을 읽으려고 책을 맨 뒤로 넘겼다. I turned to the very end of the book in order to read the final words. 3. The connective forms like contrast or condition form have no relation with speech levels. Contrast form : 읽지만 읽는데 읽더니 읽으시지만 읽으시는데 읽으시더니 Condition form : 읽으면 읽어야 읽으시면 읽으셔야 All is possible for 하십시오체. ex) 저는 책을 읽지만 할아버지는 TV를 보십니다. I'm reading a book, but grandfather is watching TV. 할머니는 책을 읽으시지만 할아버지는 TV를 보십니다. Grandmother is reading a book, but grandfather is watching TV. 4. the determiner form is used before a noun as an adjective form ex) 어제 읽은 책 the book I read yesterday 지금 읽는 책 the book I am reading now 내일 읽을 책 the book I will read tomorrow
