Yuusuke put learning the ~te form in such a complicated way...to me,
Weak verbs: Verb stem+ te
Strong verbs, if it ends in:

i/chi/ri, drop and add tte
mi/bi/ni, drop and add nde
ki, drop and add ite
gi, drop and add ide
shi, simply add te

Irregular:

shite (to do)
kite (to come)
itte (to go)
atte (to have/exist (inanimate object))

That's why you should learn ~masu first. It's very useful when you want the stem of a verb to convert it to the dict form eventually, as well as other forms.
How did i put it in a complicated way. lol u drop the ru and add those.

it's not hard at all XD. And thats from "plain" form. Which I think you should qkno.

Masu form just flows with me. But I'm just saying. They should also qkno from plain form to ~te form, instead of just ~masu to ~te

I learned ~masu form first in my japanese class, then learned plain then ~te form So it's natural for me to hear a verb in ~masu form change it to plain and put it in ~ te form
