What’s a verb? What’s an adjective? Year 9s need to try and learn as many of these as possible before the end of the year.
There are two groups of adjectives, what are they? Can you join adjectives, make their negative and the past tense? What are the rules for each adjective group?
What verbs do you know so far? Do you know anything about verb groups yet? Can you find out? There are three groups of verbs and it is very important to know what group each verb you learn belongs to . . .
Get some discussion going guys, post anything you know about the above to this entry. (Simply go to ‘Leave a comment’ . . .

Hello this is somewhat of off topic but I was wondering if
blogs use WYSIWYG editors or if you have to
manually code with HTML. I’m starting a blog soon but have no coding knowledge so I wanted to get guidance from someone with experience. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
heey miss wild, just wondering if you would be able to send me some extra work on verbs and adjectives because im trying to study over the holidays,!
if you could, that’d be awesome thanks
hope your having great holidays xx
There are three verb groups and you can use them to change a verb into i can do form:
- group one verbs nearly always end with an i sound for example kakimasu – to change these verbs into i can do form you replace the i sound with an e sound in the same column of the alphabet. for example kakimasu (to write) would change to kakemasu (i can write)
Verbs
To enter- hairimasu
To close- shimemasu
to open- akemasu
To remember-oboemasu
to count- kazoemasu

Verb Endings/ Tenses
Present positive or future ますEg. I watch/I will watch 見ます。
Past positive ました Eg. I watched 見ました。
Negative Present or Futureません Eg. I don’t watch/ I won’t watch 見ません。
Negative Past ませんでした Eg. I didn’t watch 見ませんでした。
Let’s Do Form ましょう Eg. Let’s watch! 見ましょう。
with words like ikimasu to make ‘want to go’ you use only the verb stem so iki and add tai desu
Don’t all Japanese verbs (maybe a few exceptions) end with masu like
ikimasu
tabemasu
mimasu ect.
some verbs include:
みます きます のみます たべます いきます!
There are (i) and (na) adjectives.
i adjectives:
atarashii – new
atatakai – warm
atsui – hot
na adjectives:
ijiwaruna – mean
shinsetsuna – kind
kiraina – distasteful
there are also some more adjectives:
warui -bad
shizukana-loud
ii-good
totemo samui- very cold
So when you put an い adjective colour before a noun (eg blue jeans) you leave the い on . . . What do you do with the other colours? Like pink, orange, green?
you write the word eg:
オレンジでピンクで。
A few eamples of (i) adjectives are the colours
Aoi – Blue
Akai – Red
Shiroi – White
There are also some colours that are (NA) adjectives
Chairo – Brown
Pinku – Pink
Orenji – Orange

Wow guys, you’re going well! Now some other people join in – I want some examples of ‘i’ adjectives and ‘na’ adjectives . . .
And we need to mention verbs, do you know any?
i adjective> kunai desu
na adjective> janai desu
wait… past tence is what i ment
i adjective >katta desu
na adjective> deshita
To join the ‘i’ adjectives drop the ‘i’ and ‘kute’.
To join the ‘na’ adjectives drop the ‘na’ and add ‘de’.
There are ‘i’ adjectives and ‘na’ adjectives.
Adjectives are describing words.
Verbs are doing words. but i don’t know the groups.
