How do you conjugate 싣다 in Korean?

싣다 (to load) is 실어요 in the polite 해요체, 싣습니다 in formal 합니다체, 실어 in casual 반말 and 싣는다 in the plain written style. The past is 실었어요.

What is the past tense of 싣다?

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

Is 싣다 irregular?

Yes — it is ㄷ irregular (ㄷ 불규칙). ㄷ becomes ㄹ before a vowel: 듣다 → 들어요. That is why the stem looks different in 실어 and 실으니 but unchanged in 싣습니다.
