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.
Hello everyone. I'm Lady JJ. Nice to meet you! Welcome to Japanese Study Course. I will be in charge of the Japanese course, so please call me "JJ". Come on, let's start the Japanese course together! In lesson 3, we will study noun predicate sentences and adjective predicate sentences in Japanese. Japanese is classified into the following three predicate sentences.

3-1 Noun predicate sentence
(1)What is a noun predicate sentence ?
Three Predicate Sentences in Japanese<The Basic Structure of Japanese Grammar >
Noun predicate sentence
Adjective predicate sentence
Verb predicate sentence
Noun predicate sentence ➡ “A(subject)はB(noun)です。”
Japanese grammatical constructions like "A は B です。" are called noun predicate sentences.
The noun predicate part "B です" consists of 'Noun + Auxiliary verb' and has no verb, so it is called the noun predicate sentence.
(2)A は B です。( A is B. )
Lady JJ
"A は B です。" means "A is B." For example, "I am JJ." says "私はJJです。"
ではない :(collocation phrase, negation) a collocation phrase for negation in a noun predicate sentence ではありません:(collocation phrase, polite negation) a collocation phrase for polite negation in a noun predicate sentence
To make it easier for the reader to understand, in KANBE Ryusho's room, "ではない/ではありません" is indicated as a collocation phrase that is placed in a noun predicate to indicate a negative. The correct syntax is explained in detail below.「ではない」➡で(conjunction particle)+は(adverbial particle)+ない(auxiliary verb, negation)、「ではありません」➡で(conjunction particle)+は(adverbial particle)+あり(verb "ある", consecutive form)+ませ(auxiliary verb "ます", polite)+ん(auxiliary verb, negation)
(4)A は B ですか。( Is A B ? )
If you add "か(ka)" to the end of an affirmative sentence, it becomes an question sentence.
Japanese grammatical constructions like "A は B が好きです。" are called Adjective predicate sentences.
The adjective predicate part "好きです" consists of 'Adject + Auxiliary verb' and has no verb, so it is called the adjective predicate sentence.
The grammatical structure of "A は B が好きです。" has a title and a subject, with "A" being the title and "B" being the subject.
The title has the title particle "は", and the subject has the nominative particle "が".
(2)あなたは A が好きですか、それとも B が好きですか。(Do you like A or B ?)
Use the conjunction "それとも" when asking "Do you like A or B ?" in a multiple-choice question.
Furthermore, the part of "listening to music" in English becomes the real subject of this Japanese sentence such as "私は音楽を聴くのが好きです。" or "私は音楽を聴くことが好きです。". At this time, you have to use a structural particle "の" or a structural noun "こと".
I like listening to JJ's lectures. In Japanese it is "私はJJのレクチャーを聴くのが好きです。"

Do you like listening to music or watching movies?
音楽 :(noun) music 聴く :(verb) listen 好き(な):(adjective) like それとも :(conjunction) or 映画 :(noun) movie 見る :(verb) watch
There are two types of adjectives: "i-adjectives" such as "赤い" that are used for "赤いリンゴ" and "na-adjectives" such as "好きな" that are used for "好きな歌". I will explain it in detail when I study adjectives.
In Japanese, "watch", "look", and "see" are all expressed as "見る" without any difference in expression.
Originally, the subject is expressed as "音楽を聴くこと", but the expression of "音楽を聴くの" is in the form of adding the structural particle "の" instead of "こと".
