Japanese

<p>
	By combining a verb stem + the particle <strong>に</strong> + the verb <strong><ruby>行iく</ruby></strong> or <strong><ruby>来kuる</ruby></strong>, you can express the reason for
	going or coming somewhere. Using this pattern it is possible to make sentences like <strong>"I am going shopping"</strong> or 
	<strong>"He came to see his friend."</strong>
	Place the verb stem of the word that expresses the purpose before the <strong>に</strong> particle. 
	See the below table for some example sentences using this pattern.
