Nowadays, younger generations conjugates the second group of the verbs and 来ます from the third group by omitting -らin Potential Verbs.


Grammatically speaking, this is NOT CORRECT, but sounds natural to the majority of Japanese people today and is very commonly used in ANIME.


In this video, we will practice how to say each sentence correctly in a Formal way and in Casual way, and we'll also see how to build this forms omitting -RA (even when it´s not correct grammatically) so you understand how to use this style.
