I recently reached the chapter in Minna no Nihongo where we start conjugating verbs. It says that in verbs that have き before the -ます ending, the きturns into い. 行きます is an exception as it becomes 行って. 起きます wasn’t mentioned as an exception and I expected it to become 起いて, but it’s conjugated as 起きて. Is there an explanation for this or am I missing something?
