Question 1

Sort these action verbs by the ending added to their stem to form the written present.

Question 2

Sort these verbs by whether their final stem consonant disappears or stays when you form the written present.

Question 3

Sort these dictionary-form predicates by whether they change or stay unchanged in ordinary written-present narration. Treat 있다 and 없다 as states.

Question 4

Sort these nouns by whether the written-present copula 이다 can also be shortened to 다 directly after the noun.

Question 5

Classify the final present-tense predicate in each tile. Passages about yesterday retell completed events; the other tiles are factual statements made today, with tomorrow’s activities already arranged.
