Let me explain how to look this chart.

The first column describes what base number belong to, namely BASE I, BASE II, BASE III, BASE IV, and BASE V.

Each base has different meaning by conjugating the verbs and putting the right endings which are described in the second and third column.

The rest of the columns are examples of ICHIDAN verbs and how they are conjugated for each base.

Well, here is the pattern for ICHIDAN conjugation.

Do you remember the ICHIDAN verbs always end with IRU or ERU (clikc for the review)?

In order to conjugate the ICHIDAN verbs, first you drop the RU at the end of the verbs, then...
Base I: Nothing Added
Base II: Nothing Added
Base III: Add back the RU
Base IV: Add RE
Base V: Add YO

Is it clear enough???
