Plain Form Test #1

PFT#1 tests your ability to produce orally the PLAIN AFFIRMATIVE NON-PAST forms of verbs. Practice saying all of the plain affirmative forms (you learned in Vocabulary Test) based on the polite forms (e.g., だします arrow だす) in 2 minutes. You can download the practice files below and try them on your computer. Since the test is done orally, you may want to practice with your classmate.
