Hello with verb conjugation - 한국어 Why is this "나는 귀여운 아이를 가지고 놀았다."? Why wouldn't it be "나는 귀여운 아이를 가지고 놀었어요."? Similar question: Why is this "어제 우리 친구의 아이 생일 파티를 했다. "? Why wouldn't it be "어제 우리 친구의 아이 생일 파티를 있어요."? Verb conjugations are getting the best of me. Just when I think I have them figured out, I NEVER see what I've learned and the verb ending is always different.... Usually ending in 다. I thought that was the verb stem that was taken away. It makes it very difficult to hold a conversation with someone.
