Hi, The formaiton is the same as nai-from. For example, いく(iku) → いかない(ika nai)→ remove ない(nai) and add ずに(zu ni) :いかずに(ika zu ni) . However, the ずに (zu ni) form for する (suru) verbs is not しずに(shi zu ni ) but せずに (se zu ni) , as in べんきょうせずに (benkyoo se zu ni) which means ' without studying'

Do you know how to make nai-form?
G1 verbs
e.g. いく → いかない
     iku → ikanai
( 'u' sound change to 'a' sound and add 'nai')
 のむ(nomu) →のまない(nomanai)

G2 verbs
e.g. たべる(taberu) →たべない(tabenai)
( remove ' る(ru)' and add ' ない(nai)' )
みる(miru) → みない(minai)

G3 verbs
する(suru) → しない(shinai)
くる(kuru) → こない(konai)
