notes

the present continuous form

• the present continuous form (“-ing”) is made with the 「て」 form + 「いる」
• this 「いる」 conjugates like an ichidan verb (for changing tense or adding 「ます」, for example)

  results of change

• this is formed with the same construction as the present continuous, but is used to described a continued state of being (ex: getting married and continuing to exist in the state of being married)
• 「行っている」 means “has gone and is still there”
• 「来ている」 means “came and is still here”

  the 「て」 form for adjectives and nouns

• for adjectives, replace 「い」 with 「くて」
• for nouns, add 「で」

  saying “go and do”

• location + 「に」 + 「ます」 stem + 「に」 + 「行く・来る・帰る」
