Lesson 3: Usage of Verbs

Now that you know or have at least seen a bunch of verbs and can conjugate them, I show you how to use them a little better.

With Base 1 words you can add

-nai to make it the plain form negative(I will not...) and

-nakatta past tense negative(I did not)

Base 2 add

-masu for the polite prent/ future tense and

-mashita polite past tense and

-masen for the polite negative and

-masendeshita for the polite form past negative and

-tai for I want to...

Base 3 stays the same all the time.

Base 4

-ba for the if verb. (ex tabereba -> If (noun) would just eat.) and

-ru ( Godan verbs only) the plain form can verb. (ex. tabereru -> (noun) can eat ). The verb is now an Ichidan verb.) and

-masu polite can verb(like above) but can be used on Godan verbs

Base 5

-suru to try verb.

Base te

-hoshii the want someone else to... verb and

-kudasai polite command and

-iru added when you want to say you are currently doing the verb.

-imasu polite form of above

Base ta

-ra if and when I (verb) and

-risuru to do things such as...

Thats all for now.
