「Learn Japanese」 Introduction to the て-Form (Verb Conjugation) To conjugate る-verbs into the て-Form, drop the る from the dictionary form and replace it with a て. Example(s): 教える (おしえる) → 教えて (おしえて) 食べる (たべる) → 食べて (たべて) The two irregular verbs that disregard this guideline are: 来る (くる) → 来て (きて) する → して To conjugate う-verbs that end with す into the て-Form, drop the す from the dictionary form and replace it with a して. Example(s): 殺す (ころす) → 殺して (ころして) 話す (はなす) → 話して (はなして) To conjugate う-verbs that end with う or つ into the て-Form, drop the う or つ from the dictionary form and replace it with a って. Example(s): 使う (つかう) → 使って (つかって) 歌う (うたう) → 歌って (うたって) 待つ (まつ) → 待って (まって) 持つ (もつ) → 持って (もって) To conjugate う-verbs that end with く into the て-Form, drop the く from the dictionary form and replace it with a いて. Example(s): 書く (かく) → 書いて (かいて) 聞く (きく) → 聞いて (きいて) To conjugate う-verbs that end with ぐ into the て-Form, drop the く from the dictionary form and replace it with a いで. Example(s): 泳ぐ (およぐ) → 泳いで (およいで) To conjugate う-verbs that end with ぬ or ぶ or む into the て-Form, drop the ぬ or ぶ or む from the dictionary form and replace it with a んで. Example(s): 死ぬ (しぬ) → 死んで (しんで) 遊ぶ (あそぶ) → 遊んで (あそんで) 読む (よむ ) → 読んで (よんで) To conjugate う-verbs that end with る into the て-Form, drop the る from the dictionary form and replace it with a って. *The distinction between regular る-verbs and う-verbs that end with る is that when these verbs are conjugated into the ます-form, る-verbs drop the る to replace it with a ます (たべる → たべます) while う-verbs that end with る drop the る to replace it with a リます (がんばる → がんばります). Example(s): 頑張る (がんばる) → 頑張って (がんばって) 作る (つくる) → 作って (つくって) *The common verb 行く (いく) is another irregular verb in that its て-Form is 行って (いって). ✧¸¸.•*¨*• •*¨*•.¸¸✧ Support Learning Japanese on Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/learningjapanese This video series is presented by becauseofdreams. http://becauseofdreams.com/ For the sub-domain dedicated to the Japanese grammar patterns covered in this video series and other aspects of learning the Japanese language and culture, visit http://learnjapanese.becauseofdreams.com All media presented in this video is created and owned by becauseofdreams or is used with complete permissions. ✧¸¸.•*¨*• •*¨*•.¸¸✧ Edit(s): *Please do leave a comment below if you notice any potential errors so I can include a notification about it!
