In Japanese, verbs are placed at the end of a sentence.
There are two types of basic forms for Japanese verbs: the dictionary form, which ends in the vowel -u, and the -ます (masu) form, which ends in -ます(masu).
For example, the basic forms of “eat” in Japanese are:
たべる
ta be ru
たべます
ta be ma su
The -ます(masu) form is commonly used in Japanese conversations and formal writing, and it is also prevalent in general honorific expressions. So, it’s recommended to start studying with the -ます form as the basic form.
When creating sentences in Japanese to express doing something at a specific time, you add the particle “に” (ni) after the time. This “に” particle indicates the time at which the action takes place.
