Pronouns are the basis of grammar. Now, let's check the list of personal pronouns, possessive pronouns, demonstrative pronouns, and interrogative pronouns.
Modifying nouns with pronouns, other nouns, to-infinitives, participles and relative pronouns. Example, in Japanese usage, 'noun + "の" + noun', as in '先生の辞書'.
"A は B です" is called a noun predicate sentence. - "A は B が好きです" is called an adjective predicate sentence. "好きです" consists of 'Adject + Auxiliary verb'. No verb
Japanese grammatical constructions like "A は B を・・・。" are called verbal predicate sentences. The predicate part "・・・" consists of 'a verb + an auxiliary verb'.
If you want to say, "I bought two dictionaries." in Japanese, you would normally say "私は2冊辞書を買った。" To put it politely, it's "私は2冊辞書を買いました。"ます" ➡Past tense "ました"
Verb expressions that indicate the situation have the same form as the present progressive tense. However, that is not progressive action but shows situation.
If you want to say, "I can speak English." in Japanese, you would politely say "私は英語ができます。". In another Japanese expression, you would say "私は英語を話すことができます。".
We will study verbs that indicate "possible" in Japanese. The verb "買う(buy)" was studied in lesson 5, let me introduce a verb "買える" that indicate "can buy".
"Shohei Ohtani will not pitch in the baseball game tomorrow." in Japanese, you would normally say "大谷翔平は明日の野球の試合で投げないだろう。". Future tense same as present tense.
About expressions of desire, if you want to say, "I want to go on a trip with my friends during the summer vacation." in Japanese, you say "私は夏休みに友達と旅行がしたいです。".
We will study the expressions of permissions and prohibitions. "Can I go to Shibuya with my friends tomorrow?" in Japanese, you can say "私は明日、友達と渋谷に行ってもいいですか。".
Let's study the expressions of invitation & intention such as "Would you like to…/ Let's do…" for invitation & "I would like to…/ I'm going to…" for intention.
Let's study expressions of requests such as "Please do …" or "Will you please do…". If you want to say, "Please open the window." in Japanese, "窓を開けてください。".
Let's study expressions with two objects such as the pattern S+V+O+O like "I will give her a birthday present." You say "私は彼女に誕生日のプレゼントをあげようと思います。" in Japanese.
In lesson 17, we'll review the Expressions by verb conjunctive form we have already studied before. Also let's study new usages such as "・・・していきます/・・・してきます" .
Two types of Japanese adjectives: i-type and na-type. In Lesson 18, we study the usage of i-type adjectives. ex:"赤いリンゴ(a red apple)" or "高い山(a high mountain)".
Let's study "Usage of na-type adjectives." For example, "きれいな先生", "静かな音楽". They can also be used as an adjective predicate sentence, such as "この音楽は静かだ/静かではない。".
In Lesson 20, we will study the usage of particle "が" & "は". These two particles are similar in usage, so we will explain in detail how to use them differently.
There are two types of Japanese adjectives: i-type and na-type. In Lesson 18, we will first study the usage of i-type adjectives. For example, it is an adjective used like "赤いリンゴ(a red apple)" or "高い山(a high mountain)". It can also be used as an adjective predicate sentence, such as "このリンゴは赤い。(This apple is red.)".

(2)Negative form
Negative form ➡ “このリンゴは赤くない。(This apple is not red.)”
This apple is not red.
Ordinary:このリンゴは赤くない。
Politely➀:このリンゴは赤くないです。
To make the negative form of the i-type adjective, replace "い" with "く" and add the negative auxiliary verb "ない".
Adding the auxiliary verb "です" to the end of the i-type adjective predicate sentence makes it more polite.
Politely➁:このリンゴは赤くありません。
To make another polite negative form of the i-type adjective, replace "い" with "く" and add a collocation phrase for polite negation "ありません" at the end of the sentence.
Past Negative form ➡ “昨日は寒くなかったです。(It was not cold yesterday.)”
It was not cold yesterday.
Ordinary:昨日は寒くなかった。
Politely➀:昨日は寒くなかったです。
To make the past negative form of an i-type adjective, replace "い" with "く" and add the compound auxiliary verb "なかった".
Adding the auxiliary verb "です" to the end of the i-type adjective predicate sentence makes it more polite.
Politely➁:昨日は寒くありませんでした。
To form another polite past negative form of the i-type adjective, replace "い" with "く" and add a collocation phrase for polite past negation "ありませんでした" at the end of the sentence.
Can you say the following sentence in Japanese? "Yesterday, my tooth hurt, so I rushed to the dentist. Today, it doesn't hurt." Now, you will try saying: 「昨日、私は歯が痛かったので、急いで歯医者に行きました。今日は痛くありません。」
