Groups – Descriptions
どうし の クループ の せつめい
Up to now, we have used one
level of verbs, verbs in the masu (mashita)/desu (deshita) forms.
This level is known as "neutral polite." Now we have to learn
the fundamental form, the plain (informal) “infinitive” form. This form
is also known as the "dictionary form" because this is how verbs are
listed in dictionaries. In order to learn this conjugational form, we
have to learn about the three groups of verbs, Group 1, Group 2, and Group 3.
①
一ばん の グループ：Also known as う, “strong” verbs or “consonant” verbs
Most numerous group
In the “masu” form, always has an extra “i” syllable
before the “masu”
In
the plain negative form, always has an extra “a” syllable before the “nai”
Complex but regular conjugation
Plain/dictionary
form always ends in an “u” syllable
from the same hiragana
line as the extra “i” syllable
会います meets 会う
to meet あわない
書きます writes 書く to write かかない
話します speaks 話す
to speak はなさない
たちます stands たつ
to stand たたない
しにます dies しぬ to die しなない
Use
the Te Form Song to figure out how to change from Masu form to Te form
②
ニばん の グループ: Also known as る “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.
食べます eats 食べる to
eat たべない
あけます
opens
あける to open あけない
見ます sees 見る to see みない
おきます gets up おきる
to get up おきない
(But かえる to return home、andねじる to swivel,
twist, are group 1)
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
します does/plays
(sports) する
to do, play (sports)
（しない Doesn’t do）
来ます comes
来る（くる） to come
(来ない こない Doesn’t
come)

Change the nouns and verbs where feasible. It should resemble the page 203 dialogue, but
it should not be exactly like the page 203 dialogue.
It should be at least 13 lines long and should cover the same grammar
points that the dialogue covers. Both
partners should have a script that includes your original Japanese version and
its English translation. You should skip lines in the script.
You will perform it together during the official exam period. You will listen to other people’s dialogues

You must use all the grammar patterns below, and you must use as many past
tense verbs as possible. You must write
out (or type out) your story in both Japanese and English, skipping lines on
the page. Hand it in after your
performance. If it is memorized, you
