Time for a refresher on verbs
07/01/06 11:22 Filed in: Japanese
To drill home once again the different verb forms and
review all verbs I've learnt to date, I've printed
out a set of tables, each having one group of verbs,
to review one group per day.
Note that these are 'my' verbs, so don't expect the lists to be extensive.
五段 (Group 1) verbs come first:-
Day 1 - 五段 verbs ending in the vowel sound -au (10 verbs in this list)
Examples - あう/会う to meet; ならう/習う to learn
Formed in the pattern -au, -aimasu, -atte, -awanai
godan_au_verbs
Day 2 - 五段 verbs ending in the vowel sound -aru (16 verbs in this list)
Examples - ある to be, to have; おわる/終わる to finish

Take off the -ru, and add -masu, -te, and -nai. Why can't all verbs be this easy?
