おはようございます! This week we will continue with the present tense conjugation of Goda Doushi. Since there isn’t really a future tense in Japanese, the present tense is used when you are talking about what you will or won’t do in the future and/or what you’re regular habits are or are not. But before we get into the negative present tense, here are the answers to Thought Assigment 9#: How did you do? By now, or with a little more practice, you should be able to conjugate most Group 1 verbs in the present tense without too much trouble. In this lesson, we’re going to go over how to conjugate Godan verbs in the negative Present Tense. This is similar to the affirmative Present Tense conjugation. You take the “u” off the root (dictionary) form of the verb, like before. But this time you’re going to add “imasen” to make the polite present negative form. Let’s use the verbs from our thought assignment to illustrate the steps in these conjugations: Let's recap last week’s lesson and go over the negative present tense in some sample sentences.
That was a lot for this week. So it's about time for our Thought Assignment #10: Try to conjugate these Godan verbs in both the affirmative and negative present tense: 1. think - omou -おもう -思う 2. try your best - ganbaru - がんばる - 頑張る 3. be found - mitsukaru - みつかる - 見つかる 4. to be cloudy - kumoru - くもる - 曇る Will you do your best? If you haven’t already figured it out, you’ll find out how to say that in the affirmative present tense next week. Mata ne! * Abe, Namiko. "Learn How to Conjugate Japanese Verbs."
