A. Inflect the following verbs as indicated:
i. 가다 to go
1) Honorific Head-Suffix (존칭 선행어미): -시-
The head-suffix ‘시’ elevates the attitude towards the person whom you are talking about (typically the subject of the sentence). This is done independently of the attitude elevation towards the person whom you are talking to, which is typically done by the tail-suffix.

Tense Suffixes example
Past (과거) -았/었-, -였-, -더- 우리는 어제 영화를 보았다. We saw a movie yesterday.
Present (현재) -ㄴ/는- * 나는 매일 많이 걷는다. I walk a lot everyday.
Future (미래) -겠- 나는 오늘 저녁에 숙제를 하겠다. I will do my homework this evening.
* The present tense head-suffix is used only for verbs with some tail-suffixes such as
‘-다’ (normal) or ‘-가’ (interrogative).
For many other cases, the closing tail-suffix itself indicates the present
unless there’s a past or future tense head-suffix attached.
