Grammar rule (व्याकरण नियम र परिभाषा)
Group 2 (ru-verbs) is even easier — no sound changes at all. From the ます form, drop ます and add よう. 食べます → 食べ → 食べよう. 見ます → 見 → 見よう. 始めます → 始め → 始めよう. Do not mix it up with Group 1: Group 1 adds only う and also changes the sound before it, while here the whole よう is added and what is left stays exactly as it is.
