First of all, we will learn what rentaikei is. Maybe the rentaikei word is a little strange for you, but, if I use the dictionary form word, you completely know what I means rentaikei about, huh? yes, reitaikei is commonly called dictionary form and is usually the base for conjugations. This verb form usually ended in the sound う(u) for example: taberu, nomu, shinu, suru, kuru, kaku, matsu etcetera. I don't want to waste time to explain this form, because I'm sure you understand this form.

And next, Renyoukei or also called stem form, to conjugate a verb into this form is very easy and simple, for group 1 verbs just change the u vowel in the ending of verb to i vowel (for verbs with tsu ending become chi, because the i vowel of つ=tsu character is ち=chi in Hiragana, right?). And for group 2 verbs just delete the ru ending, and for group 3 verbs, i.e. suru and kury, suru become shi and kuru become ki.

Next, Mizenkei to conjugate a verb into mizenkei, for group 1 verbs just change the ending into a vowel (u ending become wa and tsu ending become ta), for group 2 verbs same like above, just delete the ru, and the last (for group 3 verbs), suru become shi and kuru become ko.
