Today in class we were doing 아/어/여 있다 which is used to express the continuous state of an object or objects with the passive from of a transitive verb. The passive form of the verbe is used before - 아/어/여 있다 which is strait out of the grammar summary at the back of the text. I have no problem with this grammar, though I’m not quite ready to use it in natural situations.

Where I’m struggling is with forming the passive tense. The teacher told us that we have to memorize the passive form for each verb because there is no rule for their formation. She then went on to tell us that the handout, scanned below, had a list of the most commonly used passive verbs. I’m not big on memorization, but I guess I’ll have to give this a shot unless someone can help me out with another method to learn the passive form. Is there a list somewhere in Korean?
