verb stem + ます

The ます form is the polite present or future affirmative verb form, common in everyday polite speech.

ます itself can refer to present or future; time words and context decide which one.

毎朝、駅まで歩きます。

I walk to the station every morning.

Do not add です after ます. The polite verb form is already polite.

Learn stem + ます first, then extend it to ません and ました.
