Free Korean Verb Conjugation Quiz
Practice Korean verb and adjective conjugation online, one form at a time. Pick the forms and the word types, type each answer, and the quiz marks it right or wrong at once. A running score stays on screen, and at the end you can practice only the forms you missed. You don't need a Korean keyboard: tap the Hangul keys on screen, or type on a computer, where each key gives the letter it has on a Korean keyboard. It's free and needs no signup.
Untick a box to leave those verbs and adjectives out. A verb is in the quiz when it matches a ticked box in each column. A column with nothing ticked keeps all its verbs and adjectives.
How the Korean conjugation quiz works
You set it up in two steps. First tick the forms you want, from the present, past and future to 못, -고 싶다, commands and the joining endings. Then choose the word types: verbs or adjectives, and regular words, 하다 words, ㄹ stems, ㅡ stems or the irregular verbs. The quiz asks for one form at a time. Type the answer and it's marked right or wrong at once, with a running score on screen. When you've had enough, you see your score and the forms you missed, and you can go through just those again. Tick only the irregular verbs and the present, and you'll be typing forms like 추워요, 들어요, 몰라요 and 그래요.
Typing Korean without a Korean keyboard
You don't need a Korean keyboard. The on-screen keys use the Korean 2-set layout (두벌식), and they build syllables as you tap, so ㄱ, ㅏ and ㄴ make 간. The delete key takes off one letter at a time, so 닭 becomes 달. On a computer, your own keys type Korean by position, the way a Korean keyboard does: R types ㄱ and K types ㅏ, with nothing to install. If you already have a Korean keyboard set up, it works as usual. And if you're still learning how letters stack into syllables, the Hangul block builder teaches that first, with a reason for where each letter goes.
Four speech levels, verbs and adjectives
Korean verbs change with the listener as well as with tense, so most forms come in four speech levels: polite (-아요/어요), formal (-ㅂ니다/습니다), casual (반말) and plain (-ㄴ다/는다), the written style. For 가다 in the present, that's 가요, 갑니다, 가 and 간다. Commands run 가세요, 가십시오, 가 and 가라, and let's runs 가요, 갑시다, 가 and 가자, so 가요 can mean "I go" or "let's go." Adjectives are asked only the forms they have: the present, past, future, honorific, both negatives, the joining endings and the present and future forms before a noun. So 춥다 comes up as 추워요 or 추운, but never with -고 싶다. Tick only the adjectives and the quiz becomes Korean adjective conjugation practice on its own.
More than one right answer, and the spacing
Some Korean forms have more than one correct spelling, and the quiz takes them. Long spellings count, so 마시어요 is right for 마셔요, 하였어요 for 했어요 and 것이에요 for 거예요. 먹으세요 counts beside the honorific 드세요, and 못해요 beside 못 해요 for 하다 verbs. It's strict about spacing, though. Type 갈거예요 for 갈 거예요 and you'll see "Almost: check the spacing," and it counts as a miss. That's on purpose, so the space becomes a habit.
How accurate are the forms?
The forms are built by the standard rules, and each word's class is read from its entry in English Wiktionary. We checked them against Wiktionary's conjugation tables for the 774 words that have one: 22,659 forms agree and one differs. Wiktionary prints 모세요 for 모시다, but the standard form, and the one the quiz uses, is 모셔요. The honorific verbs are written out, so 자다 has 주무세요, and 있다 has 계세요 for a person and 있으세요 for what someone has. Commands follow the modern form, 나가라, and the quiz takes the older 나가거라 too.
A quiz for you, a worksheet for the class
The quiz is made for one person at a screen, checking answers as they go. If you have a test coming up, tick only the forms it covers and finish each run on the forms you missed. For a class, the same words and forms print as Korean verb conjugation worksheets: fill-in boxes, a printed quick quiz and a conjugation chart, with answer keys. To look up one word, every form of all 792 is in the Korean conjugation tables. And if you learn another language too, the Spanish, German, Russian and Japanese verb conjugation quizzes work the same way.
Frequently asked questions
Is this Korean conjugation quiz free?
Yes. There is no account and no email address, and it runs in the browser.
Do I need a Korean keyboard?
No. Tap the on-screen keys, which use the Korean 2-set (두벌식) layout and build syllables as you go: ㄱ, ㅏ and ㄴ make 간. On a computer, your own keys type Korean by position, so R types ㄱ and K types ㅏ, with nothing to install. If you have a Korean keyboard, it works as usual.
Why does the delete key turn 닭 into 달?
It takes off one letter at a time, not the whole syllable, so you can fix a final consonant without typing the block again.
Which forms can I practice?
All 15: the present, past, future, progressive (-고 있다) and honorific, the negatives with 안 and -지 않다, can't (못), want to (-고 싶다), can (-(으)ㄹ 수 있다), commands and requests, don't (-지 마세요), let's, the joining endings and the forms before a noun.
Which words are in the quiz?
All 792 words from the worksheets: 603 verbs and 189 adjectives. Tick word types to narrow them to verbs or adjectives, or to regular words, 하다 words, ㄹ stems, ㅡ stems or the irregular verbs.
Does it accept more than one correct answer?
Yes. The long spellings 마시어요, 하였어요 and 것이에요 (for 거예요) count, and so do 먹으세요 beside 드세요 and 못해요 beside 못 해요 for 하다 verbs.
Why is 갈거예요 marked "Almost"?
Because it's right except for the spacing, which should be 갈 거예요. The quiz says "Almost: check the spacing" and counts it as a miss, so you learn to write it with the space.
Can I practice only the forms I got wrong?
Yes. When you finish, you see your score and the forms you missed, and you can go through just those again.
