Lesson 5
Base 2 + mashita
Mashita is used to change verbs to their past polite form. Let's make some examples:
- John wa Sendai ni ikimashita. (John went to Sendai.)
- Kodomotachi wa kouen de asobimashita. (The children played at the park.)
- Yoshi wa ringo o tabemashita. (Yoshi ate an apple.)
- Shizu wa manga o kaimashita. (Shizu bought a comic book.)
- Bob wa sono eiga o mimashita. (Bob saw that movie.)
There are yodan and ichidan verbs in the examples above. Can you tell them apart?
