  When a verb is conjugated it adopts a so called "form". Forms change depending on the tense,  mode , and suffix of the verb's stem. The stem of the verb is the prefix that is unchanging in the conjugation. For example in the following  infinitive  (aka dictionary) forms of these verbs the stem is in bold: i ku ( 行 く): To go tabe ru ( 食べ る) To eat Verb conjugates are often grouped into two categories, according to whether the last letter of the stem is a vowel or consonant (when romanized) Type I : consonant-stems ( 五段動詞 ,  godandōshi )(V5), and Type II : vowel-stems ( 一段動詞 ,  ichidandōshi ,  いる   iru , える   eru  forms)(V1). For conjugating type I verbs the suffix of the infinitive form is replaced by a different sound according to the original suffix, then a suffix which is consistent by tense is added. The infinitive form of a type I verb has an  う   u  sound ( u ,  ts u ,  r u ,  k u ,  g u ,  n u ,  b u ,  m u ,  s u ) The polite  ～ます   -masu  form has an  い   i  sou
