Is there any tips on finding the dictionary form of verbs from the masu tense. How do I distinguish a masu verb from the u-verb or ru-verb group.
For example:
kikimasu is a u verb type and the dictionary form is kiku.
but
okimasu is a ru verb type and the dictionary form is okiru.
I hope my question make sense, it's hard to describe.
