Te-imasu Form

Okay, I bit the bullet and designed another "Lego" type chart for the "the-imasu" form of Japanese verbs -- I cannot emphasize more strongly how important the mastery of this form is -- it literally is the machine that controls the entire language. Without knowing the the-imasu (or the-iru) form -- i.e.. the progressive tenses -- you will be doomed to speak pidgin Japanese forever.

Here then, is my te-imasu chart.
