Usages of ireru
母 は 野菜 を 炒める 前 に こしょう を 入れすぎないで ほしい と 私 に 言った。haha ha yasai wo itameru mae ni kosyou wo iresuginaide hosii to watasi ni itta.
My mother told me that she wants me not to add too much pepper before stir-frying the vegetables.
味見 を したら 味 が 足りなかった ので、 母 に もう 少し 塩 を 入れて ほしい と 頼んだ。azimi wo sitara azi ga tarinakatta node, haha ni mou sukosi sio wo irete hosii to tanonda.
When I tasted it, the flavor was not strong enough, so I asked my mother to add a little more salt.

“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".
