How do you negate a verb in Japanese?

The present negative form of the verb する (suru) – do / will do – is しない (shinai) – Don’t do / Won’t do. The past negative form is しなかった (shinakatta) – Didn’t do. The present negative form of the verb 来る (くる – kuru) – come / will come – is 来ない (こない – konai) – Don’t come / Won’t come.

Do you conjugate verbs in Japanese?

In Japanese, the basic verb form is an imperfective aspect. It is broadly equivalent to the present and future tenses of English, and is sometimes called the “non-past tense”. The imperfective form of a verb is the same as its dictionary form—it is used as the headword, or lemma—and no conjugation needs to be done.
