Chapter 6 Introduction and Outcomes

Welcome to Chapter 6! 

Introduction

First of all, I would like to  introduce you to a new verb conjugation called the “te -form.”   Te-forms are a very important part of Japanese grammar.

Our focus will be on :

  1. How to conjugate the verbs into “te-forms”------たべて、よんで
  2. How to use the “te-form” to create various expressions in Japanese culturally appropriate manner.

  For example:

  •  ”Please do…..”  ～て／でください
  •   “May I ….?; “     “You may …”  ～て／でもいいです
  •   “ You must not…”    ～て／ではいけません
  •   “ I am doing…”    ～て／でいます
  •   "I do this" and  "I do that"    ～て／で～

Below it's a video about how to use the “te-form” to create various expressions.

Secondly, we will learn how to offer somebody your help by using ～ましょうか(let me do...). And use “から” to give reasons.

Thirdly, of course we will learn more kanji and new vocabulary.
