Answer Key and Explanations
1. 가다 → 가요
가다 uses 아요-style contraction to 가요.
2. 먹다 → 먹어요
먹 uses 어요 because the stem vowel is not 아 or 오.
3. 보다 → 봐요
보아요 contracts to 봐요.
4. 공부하다 → 공부해요
하다 verbs become 해요 in polite present.
5. 학교에 가요.
Go to school uses 학교에 plus 가요.
6. 밥을 먹어요.
밥을 marks what is eaten.
7. 영화를 봐요.
보다 becomes 봐요.
8. 한국어를 공부해요.
공부하다 becomes 공부해요.

Common Mistakes
Overthinking every verb
Memorize high-frequency verbs as full polite forms first.
Forgetting contractions
보다 becomes 봐요, not 보아요 in normal speech.
Avoiding 하다 verbs
하다 verbs are everywhere, so learn the 해요 pattern early.
