How do you conjugate 사랑스럽다 in Korean?

사랑스럽다 (to be lovely) is 사랑스러워요 in the polite 해요체, 사랑스럽습니다 in formal 합니다체, 사랑스러워 in casual 반말 and 사랑스럽다 in the plain written style. The past is 사랑스러웠어요.

What is the past tense of 사랑스럽다?

사랑스러웠어요 in everyday polite speech, 사랑스러웠습니다 formally. It is built from the 아/어 form 사랑스러워 plus ㅆ, which is why an irregular stem shows its irregularity here.

Is 사랑스럽다 irregular?

Yes — it is ㅂ irregular (ㅂ 불규칙). ㅂ becomes 우 before a vowel: 춥다 → 추워요. That is why the stem looks different in 사랑스러워 and 사랑스러우니 but unchanged in 사랑스럽습니다.
