__TOC__

As a Japanese language teacher with 20 years of experience, I understand the importance of learning verb conjugation in Japanese. In this lesson, you will learn how to conjugate verbs in present and past tense, as well as positive and negative forms.

== Present Tense ==
In Japanese, present tense verbs are often used to describe habitual or ongoing actions. To conjugate a verb in the present tense, you simply remove the -ます ending and add the appropriate ending based on the final vowel sound of the verb. Here are the different verb endings for present tense conjugation:

{| class="wikitable"
! Japanese !! Pronunciation !! English
|-
| 食べる || taberu || to eat
|-
| 飲む || nomu || to drink
|-
| 見る || miru || to see
|}

* Verbs that end with -る：Drop the -る ending and add -ます for polite/formal situations, or -u for a more casual tone.

* Verbs that end with -う：Change the -う to -います for polite/formal situations, or -う for a more casual tone.

* Verbs that end with -く：Change the -く to -きます for polite/formal situations, or -く for a more casual tone.

* Verbs that end with -ぐ：Change the -ぐ to -ぎます for polite/formal situations, or -ぐ for a more casual tone.

* Verbs that end with -す：Change the -す to -します for polite/formal situations, or -す for a more casual tone.

* Verbs that end with -つ：Change the -つ to -ちます for polite/formal situations, or -つ for a more casual tone.

* Verbs that end with -ぬ：Change the -ぬ to -にます for polite/formal situations, or -ぬ for a more casual tone.

* Verbs that end with -ぶ：Change the -ぶ to -びます for polite/formal situations, or -ぶ for a more casual tone.

* Verbs that end with -む：Change the -む to -みます for polite/formal situations, or -む for a more casual tone.

== Past Tense ==
In Japanese, past tense verbs are often used to describe completed actions. To conjugate a verb in the past tense, you need to know the final vowel sound of the verb. Here are the different verb endings for past tense conjugation:

{| class="wikitable"
! Japanese !! Pronunciation !! English
|-
| 食べた || tabeta || ate
|-
| 飲んだ || nonda || drank
|-
| 見た || mita || saw
|}

* Verbs that end with -au：Change the -au to -atta.

* Verbs that end with -iu：Change the -iu to -itta.

* Verbs that end with -ou：Change the -ou to -otta.

* Verbs that end with -ru：Change the -ru to -tta.

* Verbs that end with -su：Change the -su to -shita.

* Verbs that end with -ku：Change the -ku to -katta.

* Verbs that end with -gu：Change the -gu to -gatta.

* Verbs that end with -mu or -nu：Change the -mu or -nu to -nda.

* Verbs that end with -bu：Change the -bu to -nda.

== Positive and Negative Forms ==
In Japanese, verbs can be in positive or negative form. To make a verb negative, you add ない (nai) after the stem. Here are the different verb endings for positive and negative forms:

{| class="wikitable"
! Japanese !! Pronunciation !! English
|-
| 食べる || taberu || to eat
|-
| 食べない || tabenai || to not eat
|}

* To make verbs that end with -う negative, change the -う to -わ and add ない.

* To make verbs that end with -く negative, change the -く to -か and add ない.

* To make verbs that end with -ぐ negative, change the -ぐ to -が and add ない.

* To make verbs that end with -す negative, change the -す to -さ and add ない.

* To make verbs that end with -つ negative, change the -つ to -た and add ない.

* To make verbs that end with -る negative, drop the -る and add ない.

== Examples ==
Here are some examples of verb conjugation in different forms:

{| class="wikitable"
! Japanese !! Pronunciation !! English
|-
| 食べます || tabemasu || I eat
|-
| 食べません || tabemasen || I don't eat
|-
| 食べました || tabemashita || I ate
|-
| 食べませんでした || tabemasen deshita || I didn't eat
|}

== Tips ==
* Practice makes perfect. Try to speak and write in Japanese as much as possible to get familiar with the verb conjugation.

* Listen to Japanese music, watch anime, or read manga to get a better understanding of how verbs are used in different situations.

* Pay attention to the different verb endings and try to memorize them by practicing with different verbs.
