I believe there are some mistakes here. The rule is correct, remove the masu, but the example sentences do not follow this rule. Perhaps this is coming from spoken examples where rules are not followed, but if that is the case, please make it clear.
1st example – correct
2nd example – should be 買い not 買う
3rd example – should be 吐き not 吐く
4th example – should be 落ち not 落ちる
5th example – should be 殺し not 殺す
Apart from that, the information was good and very helpful
hi Paddy, The formation rule is right. The examples you mentioned are wrong. I fixed it. Thank you very much !
