Japanese Verb Conjugation

Japanese Intermediate 2 began last week at Soko Gakuen and I’ve been preparing for a while to dive more into verb conjugations. It doesn’t look like we’ll be going terribly far with them just yet but I’ll be ready with the new verb conjugation charts that I’ve been compiling. I’m posting the first two charts as they might be useful to other students.

  • Japanese Verb Conjugation Chart (PDF) (Scribd)
  • て(te) Form Conjugation Chart (PDF) (Scribd)

These are a works progress and if you see any mistakes, please contact me. The main chart should contain most conjugations used in modern japanese and I plan to add more useful compound verbs in the future, as I learn them. I’ve collapsed some rows so the chart would fit on one page, these are indicated by the numeric references in the ‘Pre’ column.

The XHTML charts may not display properly, if at all (Internet Explorer) on Windows, and the PDF versions are formatted for printing on A4 paper.

The charts were compiled with information from the following great resources:

    In your te-form chart, “come” should be くる, not きる. Also in your ichidan chart, I think you mean for it to read える, but you have えろ. Also かく means “write”, not “read”. I was looking at the PDF version. if that matters. Peace
