Learn Japanese language - Using masu and mashita to write and speak a present and past sentence in Japanese.
Today's Lesson: Masu and Mashita
Today's Japanese language lesson is to teach you about perfective and imperfective tense, which are used to write a present and past sentence in Japanese. Basically, the perfective tense is the past tence, and the imperfective tense is the present or future tence.
By the way, unlike English which have three tense including past, present, and future, Japanese has only two tense.
Let's take a look at the example below for the imperfective tence for verbals change to perfective tense. As an example, we use "Eat" and "Ate".
Present
|
Past
|
 |
 |
Tabemasu
|
Tabemashita |
I eat
|
I ate
|
As you can see, how it is chaned by using "Masu" and "Mashita". The verb + Masu word makes the present tense, and the verb + Mashita makes the past tense.
