conjugations
Past tense (learnjapanese)
It’s not necessarily that u-verbs end with Hiragana う. It means that the last vowel has to be “u” and hence the last hiragana can be く (ku), す(su), つ(tu *=tsu), ぬ (nu), and even る (ru).
You can break them into 3 groups: んだ (nda) group; った (tta) group, and the rest, and there are rules for each category.
■んだ (nda) group
読む(よむ) → 読んだ(よんだ)
■った (tta) group
走る(はしる) → はしった(はしった)
■the Rest of the group
The rest of the rules are all dependent on the ending syllables す, く, and ぐ.
す verb conjugation: Replace す with した.
話す(はなす) → 話した(はなした)
く verb conjugation: Replace く with いた。
書く(かく) → 書いた(かいた)
ぐ verb conjugation: Replace ぐ with いだ.
泳ぐ(およぐ) → 泳いだ(およいだ)
