[Ultimate Korean Endings_01] "~것 같아요" (I think, It seems that)

* More Grammar Rules ↓

◎ 1. ㄹ 것 같다
[Rule]
1) When a verb ends with a vowel, put ㄹ
* 가다(To go) + ㄹ = 갈 것 같다 (To think that one will probably go)
* 하다(To do) + ㄹ = 할 것 같아요 (To think that one will probably do)
* 청소하다(To clean) + ㄹ = 청소할 것 같아요 (To think that one will probably clean)

2) When a verb ends with a consonant, Put 을
* 먹다 (To eat) + 을 = 먹을 것 같다 (To think that one will probably eat)
* 맛있다 (To be delicious) + 을 = 맛있을 것 같아요 (To think that something will probably be delicious)

3) When a verb ends with ㄹ, you have nothing to worry about, just combine it with the sentence ending
* 놀다 (To play) = 놀 것 같아요 (To think that one will probably play)
* 팔다 (To sell) = 팔 것 같아요 (To think that one will probably sell)



◎ 2. 은/는 것 같다
- 는 : Particle for present tense
- 은 : Particle for past tense

○ 는 것 같다
[Rule]
1) Put 는 after a verb stem
* 가다(To go) + 는 = 가는 것 같다 (To think that one is probably going)
* 먹다 (To eat) + 는 = 먹는 것 같다 (To think that one is probably eating)

2) When a verb ends with ㄹ, take out of ㄹ
* 팔다 (To sell) + 는 = 파는 것 같다 (To think that one is probably selling)

○ ㄴ/은 것 같다
1) When a verb ends with a vowel, put ㄴ
* 가다 (To go) + ㄴ = 간 것 같다 (To think that one has/had probably gone)
* 자다 (To sleep) + ㄴ = 잔 것 같다 (To think that one has/had probably slept)

2) When a verb ends with a consonant, put 은
* 먹다 (To eat) + 은 = 먹은 것 같다 (To think that one has/had probably eaten)
* 읽다 (To read) + 은 = 읽은 것 같다 (To think that one has/had probably read)

3) When a verb ends with ㄹ, take out of ㄹ and attach ㄴ
* 팔다 (To sell) + ㄴ = 판 것 같다 (To think that one has/had probably sold)

※ You can also use 았/었/했 던 것 같다 form in spoken Korean.
There's no exact rule on how to conjugate verbs with this pattern.
But in Korean, ㅏ,ㅗ are considered to be a "bright sound" whereas ㅓ,ㅜ,ㅡ are considered to be a "dark sound". Therefore, each of them has a tendency to get along with each other that has the same characteristics.

For example,
* 알다 (To know) + 았 = 알았던 것 같다
There is 'ㅏ' in 알다 so do as in 았.

* 가다 (To go) + 았 = 갔던 것 같다 (o) / 가았던 것 같다 (x)
(When it comes to a verb ending with a vowel ㅏ, you just have to attach ㅆ)

* 좋다 (To be good) + 았 = 좋았던 것 같다
(There is ㅗ in 좋다, so ㅏ has to be attached)

* 먹다 (To eat) + 었 = 먹었던 것 같다
(ㅓ + ㅓ)

* 만들다 (To make) + 었 = 만들었던 것 같다
(ㅡ + ㅓ)
