In the present tense, it&#8217;s not enough to just take the u off and add mas to the stem of the verb. For example, hanasu is formed in the present tense by 1) dropping the u 2)adding a shi sound instead of a s sound 3) add mas to the hanashi. Also, take a look at the verb tsukuru, which ends in ru. At first glance, you might think this is a ru verb. However, it&#8217;s not. I&#8217;m going to go into more detail (in the next post) about some ways you can use some clues to tell whether a ru verb is really an ru verb or an u verb.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Depending on the person, u verbs can be called godan (\u3054\u3060\u3093) verbs or class 1\/group 1 verbs.
