Forms of verbs
Hi, please refer to the picture in this website:

It's a list of conjugation of the verb 하다 I found on a French website. I have a few questions and I've numbered them in the picture as well. Any help is much appreciated!

1) What is the significance of adding -는가 [하는가(요)] in the Present Indicative Interrogative form? How does this differ from the normal 해요? ending?

2) What is the significance of adding -구나/군요? What does this mean?

3) What is the significance of adding -는데(요) and ending it with a full stop/period? I thought it was used as a conjunction between two clauses.

4) What is the meaning of the -더라, -더냐, -던가, -던지, -더구/-더군, -던데? Basically, what does adding 더/던 mean?

5) How does adding 랴/리라 differ from something like 하라 or 하자?6) What does adding ㄹ까(요)? mean?

7) What is the significance of -지/죠? Does it mean something like "Isn't it so?"

8) What is the significance of adding -마? -ㄹ 게(요)?

9) What is the difference between adding -ㄴ and -는? I heard -ㄴ is used for past tense and -는 is used for present tense?

10) I'm not sure if this section refers to the -더/던 section above, but what does this mean?

11) What does adding -기 mean?

12) What does adding -다가 mean?

Thank you so much, and sorry for the long list of questions!

Answer

Hi Heesob, I thought about that, but I didn't want to flood the Answers page with all of my questions and figured maybe if someone can answer a few of the questions, they could submit an answer of their own. Thanks for the advice, though!
