In the Japanese language, male from female or singular from plural are not distinguished, so the basic NOUN sentence pattern is very simple. During conversations, only the 「です」 part changes.
Since Japanese is originally written vertically from top to bottom, the end changing pattern is called the “bottom changing pattern：ＢＣＰ” in the MISJ programs.

In Japanese, the same BCP is used for both present and future tense. VERB and ADJECTIVE sentences have their own bottom changing patterns, which will be introduced in later lessons.
