Is there an easier way to remember this ?

If you know the ~masu form of a verb, drop ~masu and look at what's there.
If it's i, chi, ri, bi, mi, ni etc.
YouTube - Japanese Rap: ~Te Form Of A Verb - this rap helps you remember how to change these base ~masu forms into the ~te form.
Enjoy, and it should be useful!
