: One of the other interesting things about Japanese is that the verbs are not conjugated with any regard to the subject. Ex: "I go" "He goes". The same form applies for all subjects in the present, in the past, in the volitional, or the negatives of these, etc. Ex: "I, He, she, it, they go"= "ikimasu", "I...they went"= "ikimashita", "I...they want to go"= "ikitai".

No John! Let's going!
