I made a guide to determine whether a verb is Godan or Ichidan

I know it’s kinda hard to see, but I made this guide to determine whether a verb is Godan or Ichidan. You may have also heard these as る verbs and う verbs.

For many people, especially those using Genki. They don’t understand why a verb might be godan or ichidan. But knowing which type of verb it is helps a lot with knowing how to conjugate it.

I also wanted to note that the exceptions I added are not all of them. I know this type of chart might not be for everyone, but when I first started learning, I found this way of thinking helpful.

I don’t believe that you should be thinking about this while speaking or anything, but for people first learning what a verb is in Japanese, I have found this kinda explanation to be helpful at times. The chart is was just a fun way for me to visualize my thinking.

I’d be happy if anyone finds it useful. Have a good day!
