Introduction

Just like the grammatical concepts you learned in the previous lesson, the two concepts you will learn in this lesson are incredibly common. The two concepts you will learn in this lesson are very similar to each other, but (just like in English) they are two different ways to essentially express the same thing. In this lesson, you will learn how to say:

I need to..., and

I have to....

Which, again, are almost identical to each other in meaning. There is a way to express each one specifically in Korean. Let's get started.

To have to: ~아/어 야 하다 / 되다 / 지 / 겠다

By adding 아/어 야 하다 to the stem of a verb/adjective at the end of a sentence, you can create the meaning of "I have to...." The verb/adjective that 아/어 야 하다 gets connected to does not get conjugated and instead, the '하다' at the end of '아/어 하다' gets conjugated.

Some examples:

공부해 야 하다 = to have to study

먹어 야 하다 = to have to eat

가 야 하다 = to have to go

저는 밥을 먹어 야 해요 = I have to eat

저는 밥을 먹어 야 했어요 = I had to eat
