Introduction to Plain Forms

Since I started this radio, I followed polite forms, which are used for a teacher, boss, stranger, shop worker, and so on.
In this lesson, I will introduce plain forms, which are used for such as family members, friends, and someone who are close to us.

Simply, polite forms are used for formal occasion.
Plain forms are used for casual occasion.

Please refer to some examples for both polite forms and plain forms.
