Korean common verbs game
Fourteen verbs in the dictionary form, all ending in da. Two pairs stand out, because Korean gives the negative its own verb rather than adding a word: itda against eopda, alda against moreuda.

Five games take this set. Sky Rescue gives you time to read each verb properly, which matters here because several differ by a single syllable before the shared da ending.

Questions
Itda and eopda?
Itda is there is, or I have. Eopda is there is not, or I do not have. Korean does not negate itda with a separate word; it swaps in a different verb entirely. The same happens with alda, to know, and moreuda, to not know.
Why do all of these end in da?
Da is the dictionary ending, the form a verb is listed under. It is almost never what you actually say: in speech the da is replaced by an ending that carries tense and politeness. Learning the dictionary form is how you look verbs up and how conjugation is taught.
Are these conjugated?
No. The games use the dictionary form. Conjugation is a lesson topic; this is a vocabulary drill.
