      Practice with Verb Classification<\/h2>\n

      There’s really not much to do at this point except to practice classifying verbs as either a ru-verb or an u-verb. You can also take this opportunity to learn some useful verbs if you do not know them already. We’ll learn how to conjugate these verbs according to their category in the next few sections.<\/p>\n

      In the chart below, you should mark whether the given verb is either an u-verb or a ru-verb. The first answer is given as an example of what you need to do. Obviously, verbs that do not end in \u300c\u308b\u300d are always going to be u-verbs so the tricky part is figuring out the category for verbs that end in \u300c\u308b\u300d. Remember that verbs that do not end in “eru” or “iru” will always be u-verbs. While most verbs that do end in “eru” or “iru” are ru-verbs, to make things interesting, I’ve also included a number of u-verbs that also end in eru\/iru. Though you do not need to memorize every word in the list by any means, you should at least memorize the basic verbs.<\/p>\n
