Tenses 2
The double past -았었- marks something that was already finished or a state that no longer holds: 갔었어요 means I had gone, I once went.
Tenses — Present, past and future, and how the ending changes with time.
Build the simple past first (갔어요), then double the marker to get 갔었어요. The extra 었 adds the sense of had already or once, in the past.
पहले सामान्य भूत बनाएँ (갔어요), फिर चिह्न को दोहराकर 갔었어요 पाएँ। अतिरिक्त 었 पहले ही या अतीत में एक बार का भाव जोड़ता है।
가다 -> 갔어요 -> 갔었어요. 먹다 -> 먹었어요 -> 먹었었어요. 하다 -> 했어요 -> 했었어요. 보다 -> 봤어요 -> 봤었어요.
가다 -> 갔어요 -> 갔었어요। 먹다 -> 먹었어요 -> 먹었었어요। 하다 -> 했어요 -> 했었어요। 보다 -> 봤어요 -> 봤었어요।
작년에 한국에 갔었어요 (I went to Korea last year and have come back). 어릴 때 여기에 살았었어요 (I used to live here when I was young). 아까 그 사람을 만났었어요 (I had met that person earlier).
작년에 한국에 갔었어요 (मैं पिछले वर्ष कोरिया गया था और वापस आ चुका हूँ)। 어릴 때 여기에 살았었어요 (बचपन में मैं यहाँ रहता था)। 아까 그 사람을 만났었어요 (मैं उस व्यक्ति से पहले मिल चुका था)।
Learners put the double past in every past sentence. Use it only when the action is finished and separated from now; for a plain yesterday I ate, 먹었어요 is enough. 먹었었어요 everywhere sounds heavy.
शिक्षार्थी हर भूत काल के वाक्य में दोहरा भूत लगा देते हैं। इसका प्रयोग केवल तब करें जब कार्य पूरा हो चुका हो और वर्तमान से अलग हो; साधारण कल मैंने खाया के लिए 먹었어요 पर्याप्त है। हर जगह 먹었었어요 भारी लगता है।
The double past often means the situation has changed: 살았었어요 (I used to live there, not now), 결혼했었어요 (was married at one time, but not now). If nothing has changed, use the simple past.
दोहरा भूत प्रायः यह बताता है कि स्थिति बदल गई है: 살았었어요 (मैं पहले वहाँ रहता था, अब नहीं), 결혼했었어요 (कभी विवाहित था, अब नहीं)। यदि कुछ नहीं बदला हो तो सामान्य भूत लगाएँ।
