67 Formal form Pain From irassyaimasu  irassha r - u ‘be, go come’ gozaimasu  goza r - u ‘be’ kudasaimasu  kudasa r -u ‘give ( to me)’ nasaimasu  nasa r -u ‘do’ osshaimasu  ossha r -u ‘say’ The reasons why these are separated from Group 1 is because the / r / marked in red above in the plain form drops in the formal form--before masu .
