- くなるExplanation:
「〜くなる」 (ku naru) means 'to become ~' and is used with い-adjectives. To form it, change the final 「い」 (i) of the adjective to 「く」 (ku) and add 「なる」 (naru). 「寒くなる (samukunaru)」 means 'to become cold'. Usage: [い-adjective stem] + く なる.
- しますExplanation:
The ます-form (masu-form) is the polite, non-past (present/future) form of a verb. 「します」 (shimasu) is the masu-form of 「する」 (suru - to do). It is used in formal or polite conversations. Usage: [Verb-stem] + ます.
- よむExplanation:
The dictionary form (also called plain form or る-form/う-form) is the basic, unconjugated form of a verb, as listed in dictionaries. 「よむ」 (yomu) is the dictionary form of 'to read'. It's used in casual speech and before certain grammatical structures. Usage: [Subject] は [Object] を [Verb-dictionary form].
- いったExplanation:
The plain past tense (た-form) of an う-verb (godan verb) has several conjugation patterns depending on the verb's ending. For verbs ending in く (like 行く - iku), it often becomes 〜いた (e.g., 書く -> 書いた kaita) or 〜った (e.g., 行く -> 行った itta). 「行く (iku)」 (iku) becomes 「行った (itta)」 (itta - went). This is used in casual speech. Usage: [U-verb specific た-form conjugation].

「とき」 (toki) means 'when' or 'at the time of'. It is used to specify the time or occasion an action or state occurs. Usage: [Noun] の とき, [Verb-plain form] とき, [い-adjective] とき, [な-adjective] な とき.

The particle 「と」 (to) is used to quote speech or thoughts directly or indirectly. It follows the quoted words or sentence and usually precedes a verb like 「言う (iu)」 or 「思う (omou)」. Usage: 「[Quoted Sentence]」 と [Verb of saying/thinking].
