A question for Newbie S4 Lesson 5

[watermen]

The PDF started with
ロリーのスーツケースをトランクにいれようとしている。

What is the meaning of いれよう？？？ What is the grammar behind that? Thanks a lot.

[Belton]

とする (exp,vs-i) (1) (after volitional form of verb) to try to (verb),
入れよう　is the volitional of いれる　to put in.

so
ロリーのスーツケースをトランクにいれようとしている。
(someone previously established) is trying to put Rory's suitcase into the trunk (of a car).

seems a bit advanced for Newbie.
I haven't listened to or read that lesson mind you.

入れよう is the volitional form of 入れる, to put in. とする following a volitional expresses something like 'try to do'.

Edit: I done got ninja-ed!

I have not been studying Japanese for the last 3 months, forgot where it was taught. Do you know which lessons teach volitional form?

There is a TOC for the beginner series that would point to other lessons but I can't find it right now.
