This slideshow explains how to conjugate the copula, adjectives and verbs into short forms in the past tense in Japanese. It also reviews the non-past short forms, and includes short example sentences.
This deck supplements Grammar 1 in Chapter 9 of the Genki textbook. It assumes knowledge of the ~masu and desu forms of verbs, and a mastery of hiragana and katakana.
