This document discusses some key aspects of Japanese grammar and verbs. It notes that context is important in Japanese as a grammatically complete sentence only requires a verb. It also explains that Japanese verbs always come at the end of sentences in the subject-object-verb order. The document classifies Japanese verbs into ru-verbs, which end in -ru, and u-verbs. While most u-verbs do not end in -ru, some ru-verbs are actually u-verbs depending on the vowel sound before the -ru ending. Examples are provided to illustrate these points about Japanese verb classification and word order.

1. Context
Context is very important in any language but
perhaps especially so in Japanese. Note that a
grammatically complete sentence only requires
a verb.
So thus the verb 食べる could be translated
I eat/she eats/they eat depending on context.

2. Another important part of the verbs of Japanese
is to note that they always come at the end of
sentences. The order is Subject, Object, Verb
or S-O-V
Lets illuminate the point with an example.
猿が全部スイカを食べる
Monkey all watermelon eat.
So the verb and the object change places in
comparison to English.

3. る -verbs and う -verbs
All Japanese verbs are classified into る -verbs
and う -verbs.
Ru-verbs are the easiest to identify as they
always end in - る

4. うー verbs
うー verbs are a bit more complicated, though
not a lot
First of, if a verb does not end in る it is a う -
verb
Complications arise because sometimes a る -
verb is a う -verb. I know, I'm lost too.
The way to identify a う -verb in disguise is by
what sound precedes the る . If it's an あ , う
or お then the verb is a う -verb

5. Lets clarify that by a few examples.
In 食べる the vowel sound before る is え , so
it is a る -verb.
But with 分かる the sound is あ , and thus it is a
う -verb

6. Lets clarify that by a few examples.
In 食べる the vowel sound before る is え , so
it is a る -verb.
But with 分かる the sound is あ , and thus it is a
う -verb
