Meet the basic plain form of verbs so you can recognize it in dictionaries, casual speech, and quoted content.
The plain form is a basic verb form you will see in dictionaries and casual Japanese. Even before you speak casually yourself, you need to recognize it quickly in reading.

I study every day.
This is a plain-form statement about a habit.
明日図書館へ行く。
I will go to the library tomorrow.
The dictionary form 行く can still describe a future action when context gives the time.
