As you know, some letters can take the form of two different sounds. When a letter has a different pronunciation depends on whether the letter is used at the beginning or ending of a syllable.
It can get a lil tricky sometimes.
멋있다 would be pronunced as "meo-shi-ta"
The ㅅ after 머 takes the place of the silent ㅇ.
So, 멋있 becomes 머 싰
The double consonant ㅆ is at the end of the syllable so it sounds like "t".
Normally ㄷ sounds like "d" but you wouldn't say "meo-shi-TDa" so it sounds like,
meo-shi-ta.
You'll soon learn that Koreans like to pronunce things the easy way :)
Hope that helps.

Something like this:
멋있다 = meo-shit-da
멋있어요 = meo-shi-seo-yo
멋있었어요 = meo-shi-seo-seo-yo
