How 하다 changes
Only the 하다 part changes; the noun stays the same. With 준비하다: 준비하고 (“prepare and…”), 준비해서 (“prepare, so…”), 준비했어요 (“prepared”). 하 + 여 becomes 해, so the past tense is always -했어요 and “because/and then” is -해서.
These words come from the full 2,000-word deck ($19, coming soon): 참석하다, 연락하다, 결정하다, 경험하다, 발표하다, 해결하다. Words tagged “In the free sample” are already in the free 300-word sample.
