Another Question
 
  I sometime saw verbs with Kanji+n(ん) 住ん、沈んだ。。。。And looks like these words are all Kanji+む(Mu). So I wonder if all verbs Kanji+mu can be written that way?

んだ is past tense informal of む verbs. So yes, in a sense you can use it, but only if it fits your needs.

E.g: 昨日の新聞を読んだ (I read yesterday's newspaper.)

This also applies to ぶ and ぬ verbs

む-verbs:読む(よむ)→読んだ(よんだ) read → read (past)
ぶ-verbs:遊ぶ(あそぶ)→遊んだ(あそんだ) play → played
ぬ-verbs:死ぬ(しぬ)→死んだ(しんだ) die → died

Keep in mind the kanji isn't what's important. The ending is. Look into て-forms of vebs. It's directly related. All of these words also go to で for the て-form. (読んで、遊んで、死んで)If you haven't studied て-form yet, it'll all make sense once you have. Good luck with your study.
