My current mastery of this grammar point:
The ます (masu) form of a verb, also known as the polite form, is the form used in normal polite conversation, for example between two strangers of similar status.
The ます form of godan verbs is created by taking the dictionary form and replacing the う with います. For ichidan verbs, the final る is replaced with ます.
| Ichidan | たべる | たべます |
| Godan | よむ | よみます |
