Tips to Remember:
• Think of 공부 (gongbu) as "study" and 했어요 (haesseoyo) as the past form of 하다 (hada, "do"). Combining them helps you remember that 공부했어요 means "studied."
• The sound “gong bu” can be associated with “going back up” (like climbing the ladder of knowledge), and 했어요 reminds you that the action is complete.

Explanations:
• 공부했어요 is the past polite form of 공부하다, which means “to study.” It shows that the studying is done.
• In Korean, 하다 verbs combine with appropriate endings to indicate tense and politeness, so 공부했어요 comes from 공부 (study) + 하다 (to do) transformed to the past tense.

Other Words with Similar Meanings:
• 배우다 (baeuda) – means “to learn”; its past form 배웠어요 (baeosseoyo) can sometimes be used interchangeably depending on context.
• 학습하다 (hakseuphada) – a more formal term meaning “to study/learn,” though it is less common in everyday conversation.
