Different Groups Of Verbs In Japanese

Verbs are important part of any language since they give us a lot of information about a sentence. Imagine trying to state anything without using verbs!

This article on its own might not be very useful, since it only deals with classifying verbs, but it's very important gateway to any kind of conjugation you'd like to preform on a verb. For example, to say "I want to eat", you have to turn 「食べる」taberu to 「食べたい」tabetai, to say "I didn't speak", you have to turn 「話す」hanasu to 「話さなかった」hanasanakatta, to say "I don't want to die", you have to turn 「死ぬ」shinu to 「死にたくない」shinitakunai.

The way the verb changes depends on a group it belongs to, and you can learn more about them and the way they affect conjugation by reading this article.
