〜て、〜
JLPT N5 Te-formand (linking actions in sequence)
Automated checks pass · no human review yetWhy?Help verify
The te form links verbs so actions happen in order within one sentence. Godan endings change in set ways (ku to ite, u/tsu/ru to tte, mu/bu/nu to nde, su to shite); ichidan verbs just add te. Only the final verb carries the tense.
