The potential form in Japanese is used to express **ability** or **possibility** (e.g., "can do," "is able to"). Once a verb is in its potential form, it functions grammatically as a **Group 2 (Ichidan) verb**.
##### 1. How to Form Potential Verbs (Conjugation)
| Verb Group | Base Form (Dictionary) | Conjugation Rule | Potential Form (Plain) | Example |
| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
| **Group 1** (Godan/U-verbs) | Ends in a U-row kana | Change the final U-sound to the equivalent **E-sound** and add **る** ($U
ightarrow E + る$) | $E-る$ verb | **話す** (hanasu - to speak) $
ightarrow$ **話せる** (hanaseru - can speak) |
| **Group 2** (Ichidan/Ru-verbs) | Ends in **る** (preceded by E or I sound) | Replace **る** with **られる** ($る
