VERBAL LESSON TWO

Lesson Two will consist of the first sets of verbals. Try to conjugate each of the verbals according to lesson one as you learn them. If you have not yet learned sentence structuring in Japanese yet, the verbal in general is always at the end of the sentence, unlike in English. So if you plan to practice making simple sentences with what you know, you should make sure to look at sentence structuring in Japanese.
As you go through these lessons, you may notice that there are some verbs that mean the same thing, the only difference is some are a form of /polite/. In japanese, your level in relation to the other speaker is very important, and you do not want to insult someone important by talking to them as directly as if they were a close personal friend.

An important note the verbals will be given in Imperfective form. This is the form equivalent to the English of "I VERB" or "I will VERB". The english given in the table is the infinitive form of the english verb. Imperfective is not the standard Japanese for infinitive form! (infinitive form is "to VERB")
