A verb generally comes at the end of the sentence.
Because a subject of a sentence sometimes be omitted, the verb at the end is very important to understand a sentence.
Verbs are divided into three groups depending on the style of conjugations.
I should first learn four verbs in the Group 1, with its formal and informal patterns of conjugations. I will make detailed descriptions from my next blog.
Group 1 ~ U ending verbs Consonant-stem verbs or Godan-doushi (Godan verbs).
au (あう) --- to meet
iku (いく) --- to go
omou (おもう) --- to think
wakaru (わかる) --- to understand
Group 2 ~ Iru and ~ Eru ending verbsVowel-stem-verbs or Ichidan-doushi (Ichidan verbs)
Iru ending verbs
miru (みる) --- to see; to look
kiru (きる) - to wear
Eru ending verbs
taberu (たべる) --- to eat
neru (ねる) --- to sleep
There are some exceptions.
Group 3 Irregular verbsThere are only two irregular verbs, kuru (to come) and suru (to do).
kuru (くる) --- to come
suru (する) --- to do
