Handout:  restatement of verb groups, with te form song for group 1 verbs

Verb Groups – Descriptions   どうし の クループ の せつめい

① 一ばん の グループ:Also known as “strong” verbs or “consonant” verbs

            Most numerous group
            In the “masu” form, always has an extrai” syllable before the “masu
            Complex but regular conjugation
Plain/dictionary form is always an “u” syllable
from the same hiragana line as the extra “i” syllable
            Short list of examples:
                        会います                    会って                        会う   meets
                                                                                       
                        たちます                    たって                        たつ            stands (up)    
                        帰ります                    帰って                        帰る            returns home
                        かえ                            かえ                            かえ
                        しにます                    しんで                        しぬ          dies
                        読みます                    読んで                        読む           reads
                                                                                       
                        とびます                    とんで                        とぶ           jumps/flies
                        聞きます                    聞いて                        聞いて       hears/listens to
                                                                                       
                        およぎます                およいで                    およぐ        swims
                        話します                    話して                        話す      speaks (日本語)
                        はな                            はな                            はな
            There’s a song to remind you how to derive the “te” form for Group 1 verbs.
The tune is “3 Blind Mice”
                        い、ち、り: 小さい つ、 て  i, chi, ri: chiisai tsu te
                        に、み、び: んで                                ni, mi, bi: nde
                        き は いて                                            ki wa ite
                        ぎ は いで                                            gi wa ide
                        し は して                                            shi wa shite
                        て フォーム                                            te fo-mu
            Here is what the song is saying about Group 1 verbs:
                        If the extra “i” syllable before the “masu” is “i, chi, or ri” ,
                                    Use small tsu te in the te form
                        If the extra “i” syllable before the “masu” is from the “ni or mi or bi” line
                                    Use “nde” in the te form
                        If the extra “i” syllable before the “masu” is “ki
                                    Use “ite” in the te form
                        If the extra “i” syllable before the “masu” is “gi
                                    Use “ide” in the te form
                        If the extra “i” syllable before the “masu” is “shi
                                    Use “shi” in the te form.
                        (That’s the) te form [reminder: for Group 1 only]
                       
② ニばん の グループ: Also known as “weak” verbs or “ru” verbs
            Second most numerous group
            Easiest form to conjugate in the “te” form: take off the “masu” and put on the “te
            Easiest form to conjugate in plain/dictionary form: take off “masu”, put on “ru
            All these verbs end in either “eru” or “iru” in the plain/dictionary form.
            Short list of examples:
                        食べます                    食べて                        食べる
                                                                                       
                        見ます                        見て                            見る
                                                                                       
                        おきます                    おきて                        おきる 
                        あびます     あびる      あびる
                                      (just have to memorize that these two are Group 2)
                        しめます                    しめて                        しめる


③ 三ばん の クループ: Also known as “irregular” verbs
            Smallest group – only 2 verbs are included
            Most difficult to conjugate because there are no rules
            List:
                        します                        して                            する
                        来ます                        来て                   来る
      き        き        く
