okay, so now I'm going to review what I have gone over, without checking, so someone correct me if I'm wrong, please.
Watashi wa-I am Anata wa-you are kare wa-he is kanojo wa-she is. Dare wa-who is. Okay, now to go a bit more in depth, how would I say "Who is she?" Dare wa kanojo ka, is this correct? Probably not, but I think it's a good shot. Edit: Also, can you help me with the tenses, meaning how to make a word past, present, future. That's as far as I want to go right now, thanks again!

But "who is she" would be Ano kanojo wa dare desu ka? present/future tenses are masu Past are mashita "To love is to suffer. To avoid suffering, one must not love. But then, one suffers from not loving. Therefore, to love is to suffer."

Oh sorry I was trying to post a T of S thread at the time ^_^
Ikimasu = I will go / I am going Ikimashita= I went Kaimasu = I will buy Kaimashita = I bought Thats basically it Just take any verb and put masu or mashita there are also te forms of mashita but we can get to that latter "To love is to suffer. To avoid suffering, one must not love. But then, one suffers from not loving. Therefore, to love is to suffer."

When conjugating verbs, you first have to start with the dictionary form of the verb (the form of the verb you find in the dictionary). There are two types of verbs, and they are called "ru" verbs and "u" verbs. Aside from a few exceptions, "ru" verbs are any verb that ends in "ru," whereas "u" verbs are all the other verbs. Example: Taberu - To eat Nomu - To drink Neru - To sleep Hanasu - To talk, speak The way you conjugate the desired verb depends on what type of verb it is. If it is a "ru" verb, conjugation always proceeds as follows: 1. Drop ru at end of verb. [Taberu --> Tabe] 2. Then add masu (present/future) or mashita (past) [Tabe --> Tabemasu/Tabemashita] Examples: Taberu (to eat)--> Tabemasu Neru (to sleep)--> Nemasu Ageru (to give)--> Agemasu Does this make sense so far? The "u" verbs are a little more tricky. To help explain, I ask that you refer to a hiragana chart:  To help demonstrate the conjugation of "u" verbs, we will use the verb "nomu," which means "to drink." 1. First, drop the last syllable at the end of verb. [Nomu --> No] 2. Now, for this next step, look at the hiragana chart and find the character mu, now look at the character directly above it; that would be mi. Add mi to the verb [No --> Nomi] 3. Finally, add add masu (present/future) or mashita (past) [Nomi --> Nomimasu/Nomimashita] So, when conjugating any "u" verb, drop the last syllable, then add the character that's directly above it in the hiragana chart (make sure it looks like the one above). Then you just add the "masu" or "mashita" ending. As a reference, the character you add before adding masu/mashita will always end in "i". Examples: Nomu (to drink)--> Nomimasu Kiku (to hear/listen)--> Kikimasu Hanasu (to speak/talk)--> Hanashimasu Hope this helps.

A much better explanation then mine ( I think I'm getting lazzy on my posts
 )"To love is to suffer. To avoid suffering, one must not love. But then, one suffers from not loving. Therefore, to love is to suffer."
