Te-Form (2) - manner of doing

ていく・てくる

ていく combines the Te-form with the verb 行く. てくる combines the Te-form with the verb 来る. Both can be used when representing time or a physical place. Kanji and hiragana can be used, and they can be conjugated. Only for verbs.

The first meaning is the following:

  • ていく means to go and do something.

The second meaning is:

  • ていく means to start doing something with your own agency.
