    *** KAERIMASU=TO RETURN****KIMASU=TO COME*****IKIMASU=TO GO ****
   To make a sentence into a question we add 'ka' onto the end of the
  verb. For example tabemasu becomes tabemasu ka (pronounced tah-be-mas-ka).
 Tabemasen becomes tabemasen ka (don't they eat?). `Ikimasu' means`(they) go.'
    `Ikimasu ka' means `(they) go?'.`Ikimasen' means`(they) don't go'.
    `Ikimasen ka' means `Don't (they) go?'.
    Verbs like ikimasu, kimasu, and kaerimasu normally occur with the
  `relational e' in between the place and themselves. The usual form is
       PLACE + e + VERB. `e' roughly can be thought to mean `to'.
       An example is `Nihon e ikimasu' - `(I) will go to Japan.'
    `Ikimasu'(ee-key-mahs) means to go somewhere. `Kimasu' means to come
   from somewhere else to here.`Kaerimasu' means to go somewhere else from
   here and then return to here. In Japanese the present tense and the future
tense are pronunced the same. Context is the only difference.
      Ikimasu means (I) go, and also (I) will go.
     Verbs other than `movement verbs'(ie ikimasu) get the `relational o'
 between themselves and the object. Some examples:
OBJECT  o verb
biiru o nomimasu
    Remember that the masu form means either habitual or future action.
