At first I saw this chart on verbs: http://oasis.fortunecity.com/labreya/147/verbchart.html and then I started to look at others and came to this one: http://www.epochrypha.com/japanese/verbs/verbs.html .
Now, I’m horribly confused. It appears,all the forums of verbs can be used 20 different ways, instead of the single way the first chart shows.
My other problem is neither chart shows what the changing of the base actually accomplishes. Like, "Kaku", if I make it "Kakoo", what does that do and what am I suppose to add afterwards?
I might be getting bogged down in with all the different context — so I’m wondering if anyone can explain it to me, or if there is a completed chart with examples that’re easier to understand then these.
I’m really confused, any help would be appreciated~ ^_^
And this is why people should learn in classes and not by themselves.
Each verb has a different meaning even if the base is the same. It’s like in English where "to run" is your base and you work from there to give a sentence specific meaning.
I ran in the park.
I am running in the park.
I will run in the park.
I did not run in the park.
Because I’m not about to write a huge page on Japanese verbs, I’ll just quickly answer your question and leave it at that. If you’re really inquistive (or desperate), feel free to message me. But, either way:
Kaku = to write. It is the plain verb form and the basic building structure to figuring out how to get to other versions of this word. The basic "to write" verb form is kakimasu. But you learn "kaku" so you know how to write other versions relating to the verb "to write".
Kanji o kakimasu = To write kanji.
Kakou = basically it’s an informal "let’s write" form. The more polite version would be "kakimashou".
I have "kakou" instead of "kakoo" because my version fits better with how it would actually be written in Japanese.
Kanji o kakou = Let’s write kanji.

is it used for informal / past??
because I was told that for FORMAL PAST I’m supposed to use base 2 (the i base) + mashita, and for formal past NEGATIVE I use base 2(the i base) + masen deshita.
so what is the ? base for?
Yes, it is the informal past.
For example:
To study in dictionary form is-????. It ends in an u sound, in this case ru.
Formal/standard conjugation for past tense of study: ??????
Therefore, informal past is: ????
You can make any verb informal/past in a similar way.
???????
?????????
etc

Which of the following is grammatically correct?
"Technology and engineering has been a focal point…"{i.e., technology (has) and engineering (has) been a focal point}
or
"Technology and engineering have been a focal point…"{i.e., collectively, technology and engineering have been a focal point…}?
Thanks,
lalilulelosamsung
Plural.
The second one is correct.
But, the rest of the sentence needs to be changed to ‘have been focal points’.

i know many of the portuguese verbs are irregular, but i don’t know if there is any way to better remember the verb conjugations for portuguese verbs, perhaps a phrase or acronym…etc…to help jog my memory. anything that you think would help(lots of studying is understood)
Good luck! Not even Brazilians are really sure about it. It is true… we Brazilian usually make a lot of mistakes regarding irregular verbs.
The point is that we usually remember it by using a lot, by hearing the conjugation everyday. What we do is to avoid irregular verbs if we find out that the sound of it seems wrong.
Sorry for not be helpful and good luck with your study.

How would you conjugate a verb with the subject pronoun ‘equipo’? Equipo means team and I’m confused on whether the verb will follow the ella, el, usted conjugation or the ellos, ellas, and ustedes conjugation. For example how would ‘Our team does not compete.’ be written in Spanish? Would it be ‘Nuestro equipo no compite’, ‘Nuestro equipo no compiten’, or neither?
This is something similar to ‘la familia’ also, since it also has more than one person involved.
nuestro equipo no compite = correct
la famalia no compite = correct
los del equipo no compiten = correct
los de la familia no compiten = correct

Is this proper verb conjugation?
En los fines de semana yo escucho música, dibujo y navego por Internet.
Yup good job :]
But actually instead of "En los fines de semana", "Durante los fines de semana" might be a better translation.

please don’t worry, it’s the same for all the french… any of them could tell you about the verb conjugation in his/her young life… but I think not in a good way 
Here is a good website : http://www.la-conjugaison.fr/
First you can learn how to conjugate regular verbs in "-er", "-ir", "-re". I mean for example for "-er" verbs, endings are : -e -es -e -ons -ez -ent
And when I say conjugate It’s in : present (indicative), imparfait (indicative), futur (indicative), present (subjonctive) at first.
Once you know present (indicative) you can conjugate in passé composé because it’s : être/avoir in present + past participle. And passé composé is really important.
Then you can learn passé simple, used in narrative texts (not orally). and after conditionnal tenses.
Once you know imparfait, futur you can conjugate easily in plus-que-parfait, because it’s être/avoir in imparfait + past participle. And futur antérieur because it’s être/avoir in futur + past participle.
Passé anterieur is like passé simple, used in narratives texts.
For subjonctive, just subj. présent and passé are used. subj plus-que-parfait and imparfait are very very uncommon, maybe on narrative books 300 or 400 years ago.
Don’t forget reflexive verbs
Past participles aren’t always regular too.
You’ll have too "accord" subject with past participle when using "être" in your past forms (or if it’s passive).
Of course, a lot of practice is needed.
I remember also my 0/20 in dictation (in fact it was -40/20), so no problem if you take it logically.

If you could help or tell me a website it would be greatly Appreciated!!!!
S P
1. I We
2.You You
3. He,She,It They
Well, you don’t have a whole lot of info., but I can try to help based on what you’ve given here:
"I" is considered – 1st person, singular – "I do this, I eat, I run, I speak"
"We" is considered – 1st person, plural: Plural because it indicates more than one person doing the action and "I" am included in that action.
"You" is considered – 2nd person, singular – "You do this, You eat, You run, etc."
The second "You" is considered 2nd person, plural because it is assumed to be a group of people, BUT "I" am not a participant – "You guys play, You girls jump rope, etc."
"He, She, It" – is considered – 3rd person, singular; again because it is one person or character doing the action. This is how most stories are told: "He did this, She goes there, It flew away, etc."
"They" – is considered 3rd person, plural: also for the assumption of multiple participants.
Now, when you conjugate a verb, the conjugation depends on the subject of the sentence. Example:
I go to the store – here, I am the subject and the verb is ‘go’. If we change the subject, the conjugation would change also.
He GOES to the store – here, He is the subject, so the verb ‘go’ becomes ‘goes’.
I run vs. She runs
You eat vs. It eats
Hope this helps!
