Question on Verb Forms
こんにちは、皆さん。私が問題がある。
I am currently making a verb conjugation table for my own revision. To spice up the conjugation table a little bit, I have decided to do it entirely in Japanese. However, I have ran across quite a number of problems regarding the correct names for the different types of verb conjugations. Please help to correct me. Thanks.
I am using the various conjugations of する as an example.
非過去形態(ひかこけいたい):Non-Past Tense - する
過去形態(かこけいたい):Past Tense - した
ます形態(ますけいたい):"Masu" Form - します
て形態(てけいたい):"Te" Form - して
進行形態(しんこうけいたい):Progressive Form - している
意向形態(いこうけいたい):Volitional - しよう
命令形態(めいれいけいたい):Imperative - しろ
可・#92;形態(かのうけいたい):Potential Form - できる
仮定形態(かていけいたい):Provisional Form - すれば
????:Conditional Form - したら
????:Alternative Form - したり
受動形態(じゅどうけいたい):Passive - される
使役動形態(しえきどうけいたい):Causative - させる/さす
使役受動形態(しえきじゅどうけいたい):Causative Passive - させられる
謙譲語形態(けんじょうごけいたい):Humble - いたす
尊敬語形態(そんけいごけいたい):Honorific - なさる
I was wondering if anyone knew the proper Japanese for the Conditional Form or the Alternative Form? I am unsure of the correct name for the Causative Passive. Also, does anyone know the proper name for the form 「したい」which is the form used to express wants?
ありがとうございます、皆さん。

Hi Sunny Pig!
Fun stuff those grammatical terms. I found a nice page that lists a great number of them:
http://www.alse-net.com/column/grammar-terms.htm
According to that site 条件節 is the conditional form (ba, nara, tara, to)
I also did a google search with that and it does appear to be the meaning.

RE: Thanks
ありがとうございました、Clayさん。それは本当に有用です。
After reading the page, I had another question. I was wondering if the "te" form of verbs is actually the gerund equivalent in English. My dictionary, Kondansha's Furigana Japanese-English Dictionary, stated that the "te" form as gerund. Is this correct?

The form to express wants is called the Subjunctive, I think.... At least it is in spanish.
