Sorry if this question has been asked before. I tried to look around for an
answer but couldn't find it.

I just want to state before that my question is not regarding the verb ある or
verbs with kanji + multiple hiragana (for example 負ける). The question is
regarding verbs with kanji + single る.

I have some issues with the negative form of verbs ending with る. I know the
basic rules for converting a verb into negative form (adding an あ-sound + ない)
but i cant get a grasp on these. Sometimes it is らない and sometimes just ない. Is
there a rule to when it is らない and when its just ない or is it just an
irregularity?

Examples:

  * 出る -> 出ない
  * 降る -> 降らない
  * 着る -> 着ない
  * 切る -> 切らない

Thank you!

grammar conjugations negation
Conjugate る-ending verbs into negative form
There are generally 3 categories of verbs, and their names depend on which
textbook you use. There are Type 1 (五段), Type 2 (一段), and Irregular verbs.

  * The conjugation for negative form for Type 1 verbs:

    * Change the final sound to the corresponding one that ends in -a, then append ない
    * 切る→切ら→切らない
    * 歩く→歩か→歩かない
    * 会う→会わ→会わない （not 会あない）
    * 帰る→帰ら→帰らない
  * The conjugation for negative form for Type 2 verbs: 

    * drop る and append ない
    * 出る→出ない 
    * 見る→見ない
    * 変える→変えない

All Type 2 (一段) verbs end in -iru or -eru. The **converse is not true** ; i.e.
verbs that end in -iru and -eru may also be Type 1 (五段).

  * There are two other verbs ending in る – namely する and くる – that are irregular:

    * する→しない
    * くる→こない
