‘하다’ has no tense, and just meaning 'to do. It is
sometimes called as dictionary form . But I am just
going to refer to this type of verbs as 'base form
verb' or 'base verb. And base form always ends
with '다’.

For another base verb example, we have


'좋아하다.‘, So if you put '한국(Korea)' before
'좋아하다.' It becomes '한국 좋아하다' meaning 'to
like Korea".

Unlike in English, a verb is always placed at the end
of the sentence in Korean. In English, verb comes
first and object follows like 'to like Korea‘. But In
Korean, you put ‘한국(Korea)’ first and ‘좋아하다(to
like)’ comes last.

‘한국 좋아하다’ is actually still awkward to use in


conversation, because It is still a base verb which
doesn't have tense.
