    Japanese verbs are generally placed at the end of sentences and can be divided into three main groups based on their dictionary form. Group 1 verbs end in "~u", Group 2 verbs end in "~iru" or "~eru", and there are only two irregular verbs: "kuru" (to come) and "suru" (to do). Unlike some other languages, Japanese verbs do not change form based on person, number, or gender. The verb is the most important part of understanding a Japanese sentence since subjects are often omitted.

    One of the characteristics of the Japanese language is that the verb generally comes at the end of the sentence.

    Since Japanese's sentences often omit the subject, the verb is probably the most important part in understanding the sentence. However, Verbs forms are considered to be difficult to learn. The good news is the system itself is rather simple, as far as memorizing certain rules. Unlike the more complex verb conjugation of other languages, Japanese verbs do not have a different form to indicate the person (first-, second, and third-person), the number (singular and plural), or gender. Japanese verbs are roughly divided into three groups according to their dictionary form (basic form). Group 1: ~ U ending verbs The basic form of Group 1 verbs end with "~ u". This group is also called Consonant-stem verbs or Godan-doushi (Godan verbs). hanasu - to speak kaku - to write kiku - to listen matsu - to wait nomu - to drink

    Group 2: ~ Iru and ~ Eru ending verbs The basic form of Group 2 verbs end with either "~iru" or "~ eru". This group is also called Vowelstem-verbs or Ichidan-doushi (Ichidan verbs). ~ Iru ending verbs kiru - to wear miru - to see okiru - to get up oriru - to get off shinjiru - to believe akeru - to open ageru - to give deru - to go out neru - to sleep taberu - to eat

    ~ Eru ending verbs

    There are some exceptions. The following verbs belong to Group 1, though they end with "~ iru" or "~ eru". hairu - to enter hashiru - to run iru - to need kaeru - to return kagiru - to limit kiru - to cut shaberu - to chatter shiru - to know

    Group 3: Irregular verbs There are only two irregular verbs, kuru (to come) and suru (to do). The verb "suru" is probably the most often used verb in Japanese. It is used as "to do," "to make," or "to cost". It is also combined with many nouns (of Chinese or Western origin) to make them into verbs. Here are some examples. benkyousuru - to study ryokousuru - to travel yushutsusuru - to export dansusuru - to dance shanpuusuru - to shampoo
