Verbs ending on -iru and -eru generally belong to the nidan katsuyou (or group 2 verbs). There are, however, some exceptions to this rule.

On this page you can find a list of all verbs where the rentaikei conjugation ends on "-iru" or "-eru", belonging to the yodan katsuyou (or group 4 verbs). These verbs are indicated in the vocabulary lists of the individual lessons with the mark. The correct conjugations can be found on the conjugations page.

This distinction is important since the conjugation of a verb can determine which meaning is associated with it.
