↓ Take some time NOW to Review Lesson 10 ↓
In Lesson 10, you learned about the て-form (te-form) of verbs. As you know, the て-form is used for a lot of different things, including making polite requests, informal commands, listing more than one verb in a sentence, make the present progressive form, and maaany other functions.
The handy-dandy chart in your grammar notes can act as a fantastic guide to the て-form.
Here are some examples of て-form to listen for in the Lesson 10 video.
Here, Sakura uses the て-form to list a few different activities she did during Oomisoka:
- さくら: えーと、おおみそかにみんなでおそばをたべて、テレビを みて、おしょうがつにじんじゃにいきます。
Daichi does the same in this line:
- だいち: はい、ぼくもおそばをたべて、テレビをみます。それから、おてらにいって、おまいりします。それから、おしょうがつにおせちりょうりをたべて、 じんじゃにいきます。
Notice that the verbs that end each sentence are in the polite ます form. I've underlined them in the above examples to point this out to you. You should NEVER end a sentence with the て-form!
Some great examples of the vocabulary:
- だいち: うーん、まだわかりません。
Daichi: uum, I don't know yet.
- さくら: そうですか。ほかになにをしますか。
Sakura: Oh, I see. Are you going to do anything else?
Note that you need to use に after ほか!
- さくら: はい。でもわたしはスキーはあまりとくいじゃありません。
Sakura: Yeah, but I am not that good at skiing.
Notice how the sentence ends in a NEGATIVE when using あまり!
Remember, Conjugating to the て-form is a 3 step process:
