5 More on む-forms: A む-form leads to another verb.
As mentioned before, む-form is tenseless, and it is used to string together sequences of verbs. In this sense, む-form functions like an ‘and’ between different actions. Only the last verb in each sequence is tensed in Japanese, but the tense is transferred from the last verb to the verb in む-form. Note English translations of む- form must reflect the appropriate tense information.
