Hey again, I have a question about verb conjugation. I am learning about them, and I ran into something that confuses me so maybe you can help. I will use two examples here and let me know what you guys think.

I was told that with verbs ending in 〜る, that to conjugate for present/past tense, you remove the る and ad the た/て in its place, now here is my question...

I have seen 食べる conjugated like this, but it has always been as follows:
食べって or 食べった, ending with a った/って, not just a た/て. Same thing goes for sleeping, I have seen 寝って and 寝った, but not with the ta/te, always with the tta/tte.

I was wondering if there is any difference to these two methods and what they are! Thank you for your time.

Just where have you seen these forms? This is the first time I have seen them in my long life as a Japanese speaker.

The 食べって　or the 食べて forms?

I am referring to:
食べって
食べった
寝って
寝った

These forms do not even exist, period. How can you see them so often?

Not sure, maybe I am confusing them with different words now that you mention it, which is extremely likely. In any case, I know not to use them and you cleared my confusion a lot! Thanks, now I won't go writing sentences with non-existant verb forms

Hi, I understand that "調節する" means "Adjusting something" but it can also means "Control". My question is, what type of "Control" does it mean?

Controlling the volume on the TV, controlling a valve, etc.

Thanks masaegu. But how about what type of "Control" cannot be used?
