する (suru) - to do (irregular verb)
--- Notes ---
There are only two irregular verbs, kuru (to come) and suru (to do).
The verb 'suru' is probably the most often used verb in Japanese. It is
used as 'to do,' 'to make,' or 'to cost'. It is also combined with many
nouns (of Chinese or Western origin) to make them into verbs.
--- Examples ---
明日掃除するよ。
I will do my laundry tomorrow.
彼が電話したら、どうするの？
If he calls, what will you do?
テレビの音を大きくした。
I turned up the volume of the TV.

常体 = Plain / Direct form ~る[~ru]
敬体 = Polite / Distal form ~ます [~masu] (contributor: Amatuka)
Note that in textbooks outside of Japan する is usually introduced as an
'irregular verb'.
However inside Japan it is referred to as サ変, also still can be used
for some other verbs (e.g. 準ずる).
Similarly the 'irregular' verb くる is referred to as カ変.

As I understand it, したら in #5005 and した in #5892 are forms of
する -- maybe they should be marked red in the examples. (contributor:
