지금 바쁜 사람이 여기 있어요 지금 바쁜 사람이 여기 있어요 The busy man is here now. 1) I am not sure if 지근 and 여기 are in the right place - this just seemed best. How do you know where to put them? 2) Is it possible to make past/future tense descriptive verb adjectives? I know you can do this with action verbs, like 먹다. 먹은 사과 = the apple that has been eaten 먹는 사과 = the apple that is being eaten now 먹을 사과 = the apple that will be eaten With 바쁘다, the adjective "busy" is 바쁜. How/Can you follow the above rules to get "was busy" and "will be busy"? The man who was busy is here now. = ?? The man who will be busy is here now. = ??

1. "있어요" always goes with the location particle '에' 여기(에) 있어요. 2. "지금" is modifying the adjective "바쁜" meaning... "지금(은) 바쁜(= BEING busy ,especially NOW)" "The busy man is here now" would be "바쁜 사람이 지금 여기 있어요" 3. I can say YES for adjectives but a bit different from verbs when modifying nouns. 바쁜 사람 = a man who is busy.(the present tense, - (으)ㄴ) 바빴던 사람 or 바쁘던 사람 = a man who used to be busy. (not the past tense exactly, -(으) 던 or -았/었/였던) 바쁠 사람 = a man who will be busy, I guess. ( -(으)ㄹ) \^o^/

Hi, I'm Kim from Seoul! Nice to meet you! Since I'm not a teacher, I won't be able to give you right anwser. I'll do my best and please be aware that this is my subjective opinion! please ask omebody else again^_^ then.. let's get down to the business!! haha (1) I don't think it's awkward sentence. In this sentence, 지금 which is Time Adverb can be anywhere in this sentence. However, there must be some 'right' place to put it. I guess Korean'll never know where it should be since we learn(?) or felt while growing up. ^_^;; (2) Past : 바뻤던 사람이 지금 여기 있다. Future : 바쁠 사람이 지금 여기 있다. Thank you for reading my subjective anwser ever. haha Hope it help you understand!! Bye~!
