かようび - Contact your partner & start your speaking assignment
みなさん、おはようございます!
Here's what you need to do today:
- Today you need to contact your partner and start work on your speaking assignment.
- Go to coaching if you are scheduled today!
It's the end of the semester, and there's a lot going on! There will be TWO culture cafes next week, both with bonus point opportunities!
I'll be hosting a Project Help Night, but I need some input as to WHEN it should be! Please fill out the survey!
Don't forget to take the NCVPS student survey, too!
Using と おもいます
The three concepts you'll be introduced to in this lesson are: the present tense short form, how to express "I think..." and "I intend to..."
Today we will focus on と おもいます, "I think..."
In this week's lesson video you heard the example:
はい、だいじょうぶ だ と おもいます。
Yes, I think so. (OR, Yes I think that will be OK.)
- Instead of using the polite です, you can ONLY use the short form, だ before the expression とおもいます.
- だ is the short form of です。
- と おもいます can ONLY come after a short form of a verb OR adjective.
Watch the video below for more details on how to use と おもいます:
