Find Which ……: Plain Form and Polite Form of Verbs
Let’s review how each verb change its form from plain form to polite form (ます-form). All plain form verbs below are spelled phonetically. There are five new verbs introduced in this unit so far.
| suru, kakeru, kaburu, kiru, haku |
Read the following instruction and categorize each verb into the group that fits to the description. Take notes and click each link to see the answer when you finish the activity.
| 1. Find suru and kuru. | |
| 2. Find the verbs which do not end with either iru or eru. | |
| 3. Find the verbs which end with either iru or eru. |
Let’s categorize each verb into three types of verbs: Irregular verbs, うverbs and るverbs.
1. Irregular verbs: There are only two irregular verbs in Japanese. You need to memorize this irregular verb formation. Change into polite form.
| Plain form | Polite form |
| する | します |
| くる | きます |
2. うverbs: All the verbs which do not end with /iru/ or /eru/ are う verbs. Here is how the plain form changes into the polite form.
| Plain form | Polite form |
| かぶる | かぶります |
| はく | はきます |
う verbs: The ending sound /u/ becomes /imasu/ to change into the polite form.
3. る verbs: All the るverbs end with either /iru/ or /eru/. However, be careful: some う verbs end in either /iru/ or /eru/!
1) The followings are る verbs:
| Plain form | Polite form |
| かける | かけます |
| きる | きます |
る verbs: The ending sound /ru/ becomes /masu/ to change into the polite form.
Did you notice the polite form of きる is the same as the polite form of くる? Then, how can you tell which is which? Well, again, the context will tell you very clearly and you will not be confused. In addition, different kanji are used to distinguish one with the other. The knowledge of kanji will also help you understand the language correctly.
