て形・た形(動詞の活用)

接続:Ⅰ類: い・ち・り→って/み・び・に→んで/き→いて/ぎ→いで/し→して/Ⅱ類: る→て/Ⅲ類: して・来て
How to divide the form て and form た — the foundation of almost all N4 grammar.
注意 / Note:Important exception: 行く → 行って(not ×行いて). The た form is divided exactly like the [[4] form], only changing て→た, で→だ.
よく出る形 / Common form:Vて+ください/もいい/はいけない/から/おく/しまう… — belongs to て形 to unlock N4.
