Conjugation Rule
If the vowel of the last syllable is either ㅗ or ㅏ, add 아. If the vowel isn't either ㅗ or ㅏ, and the verb is not a 하다 verb, add 어. If the verb is a 하다 verb, add 여.
Once that is done, add 야 하다. From there you can conjugate into different tenses and formality levels. For example, changing the last 하다 to 해요 for the polite informal form (e.g. 가야 하다 → 가야 해요).
Conjugation Examples
- 가다 → 가야 하다
- 오다 → 와야 하다
- 먹다 → 먹어야 하다
- 가르치다 → 가르쳐야 하다
