On trains I always try to choose a window seat rather than an aisle seat.

空席くうせき　が　できたら、　窓側まどがわ　の　席せき　に　座すわりたい　です。kuuseki ga dekitara, madogawa no seki ni suwaritai desu.
When a seat opens up, I want to sit by the window.

Every time I go to the library, I check whether the same seat is open.

Excuse me, is this seat free?

If a window seat opens up, please tell me.

“How do verb conjugations work in Japanese?”
Japanese verbs conjugate based on tense, politeness, and mood. For example, the polite present form adds ‑ます to the verb stem, while the past tense uses ‑ました. Unlike English, Japanese verbs don't change based on the subject — the same form works for "I", "you", and "they".
