Thanks
For negative verbs:
in the masu form just change it to masen and for dictionary form take off the ru and add nai and for non-ru verbs change the last one to an あ Sound And add nai
Eg
行かない
行きません
exceptions for dictionary form when it is ru verbs it is sometimes different when the ru at the end is not taken off for negative dictionary it becomes ra
a couple of examples:
帰らない kaeranai
成らない naranai
