group 3: idk... how do you do that with"suru" and "kuru"?

No, "u" does not turn into an "a":

hanasu--> hanaSHImashou/hanasou

Putting suru and kuru into that grammar form would be the following:

suru--> shimashou/shiyou
kuru--> kimashou/koyou

Oh... I thought it would be "hanashimashou/hanashiyou" I though it was "-you" not "-sou" o.o Can you expand on this pleae ^^
