Verbs る-form in Japanese are divided into 3 groups


Group 1: Verbs ending in う

おす おします To push

あそぶ あそびます To play

のむ のみます To drink

Group 2: Verbs ending in る


Verbs that end in る but are preceded by /a/, /u/, /i/ or /o/ sounds belong to group 1 verbs. Example: おわる  (owaru): to finish, つくる(tsukuru) : to create; きる (kiru): to cut, etc.

Verbs that end in る but are preceded by /e/ sound belong to group 2 verbs. For example: たべる(taberu): to eat, おぼえる  (oboeru): to remember.

Exception: かえる (kaeru): to return, to go home (ends with “eru” but is a verb of group 1)

In addition, some group 2 verbs in Japanese are irregular verbs. They that end in “iru” are group 2 verbs such as: おきる (okiru): wake up, あびる (abiru): take a bath.


あける あけます To open

おきる おきます To get up


Group 3: Only 2 words する and くる
