Japanese Verbs | Verbs as we all know are "action words"

A person who wants to learn Japanese as a foreign language has to first start with the Japanese script. Japanese language consists of three different scripts namely hiragana, katakana and kanji. All the three scripts are used in written Japanese. Kanji is the pictorial script which has many characters to be learnt. Hiragana is mostly used to write words consisting of nouns, adverbs, adjective, particles and verbs. Katakana is used to words which do not have its origin in Japan but are adopted from foreign countries and are used by Japanese people.
The Japanese grammar is very different from English grammar. Though it is said that the Japanese grammar is a little difficult but it is very interesting to learn. After you have leant the basic grammar you are able to use them in your simple conversations. The best feeling for me was when I was able to form a grammatically correct and meaningful sentence and use it while talking with a Japanese person.
One of the very important aspects of Japanese grammar is the Japanese verbs. Like any other language the Japanese verbs also have different tenses like present, past, future, present negative and past negative. One important thing about the Japanese verbs is that the present and future tenses are the same in Japanese language. The Japanese verbs are divided into three different groups. These three groups are further divided into different forms of the verbs. It is very essential to study each of these forms very carefully. In addition you should have the proper knowledge of the method of changing the verbs into different forms. To form a grammatically correct and meaningful sentence it is very important to know which form of the verb should be used to convey the accurate meaning. Depending upon which form of the verb is used in the sentence the meaning of the sentence changes. But remember one thing that even if the verbs have different forms they are not at all confusing. Also, the method of changing these verbs is attention-grabbing. So I would say that get a command on the Japanese grammar to speak this language fluently.
When the native Japanese people come to know that you are learning Japanese at that time you should see their extent of happiness and the amount of excitement they have. They feel very proud of you and appreciate your efforts a lot. The Japanese people are very helpful and are always ready to guide you in improving your Japanese language skills. So go ahead and become one of them by learning the Japanese language.
