In Korean, various meanings are added by attaching different endings to verbs – action verbs and descriptive verbs (adjectives). Basic Conjugation Tip Unlike in English, Korean verbs are always conjugated in the same manner, regardless of subjects (first, second, third person) or number of people (I/we, he/them). Example: 이다 (to be) always conjugates to 이에요 in the informal polite style.

Hey so I've been learning off of TTMIK for a little while and as far as I can remember, this topic hasn't been touched on.
I want to know if using a dictionary form in a sentence just means the present tense of the word or something different. Whenever I read natives(or fluent speakers) using/typing them, it kind of throws me off because I'm not sure if it just simply means what it translates to.
Like if someone were to use 있다 instead of 있어요, would the meaning be the same? I know that is a verb ending but it didn't have a better example. I also understand adding 다 after words could just be another part f the word/modifier, I would just like some clarity on this.
