#14-01 Japanese Grammar with Moto for JLPT N5 Beginner, “Explanation for Teform G2&G3 verb”

 

(In L14-01 and 14-02, We do not have any Speaking and Writing exercises. We have only explanation of Teform.) 


Improvement of Speaking and Writing

 

こんにちは。モトです。I am Japanese and I am teaching Japanese. In this series, I will share my practice way for N5 Beginner and Intermediate level learners who want to review.

 

If learners are studying Japanese only for JLPT as test preparation, it might be difficult to improve speaking and writing Japanese actually, because the test does not cover Speaking and Writing. Thus, we set a Goal to improve Speaking and Writing in this series while learning JLPT N5 Beginner topics.

 

 

Features and Advantages

 

While using Practice Sheet, we try to remember Question and Response sentences as Dialogue to learn how to use word and grammar. (Using story or dialogues, it could be easier to remember them efficiently.)

 

It is also good to partially hide some words in tables in Practice Sheet by hand to check your progress or you can also change part of words and make another sentence like improvisation music.

 

After Speaking, through making your sentences, you can improve Writing. (Based on your sentences, it is good to make your Practice Sheet and play Dialogues with other learners.)

 

I will apply Minna no Nihongo to speaking and writing practice that covers almost all topics introduced by Genki so Genki user can also use this series.

 

(I will cite English translation from the textbook as it is, or I try to translate some expressions by myself. Now I am also learning English so my translation and explanation could be not correct or not natural, sorry for that.)

 

 

Explanation for G2 and G3 Verb

 

When we want to say “Please do something-” in Japanese, we can use the pattern “Verb Te-form + ください”. To use this pattern, we need to know conjugation of verb, how to make Te-form.

 

We have 3 categories of Verbs such as Group2, 3 and 1 that have different rules to make Te-form.

 


Group2 Verb


They have “e” sound before ます such as…

 

teach=おしえ(e)ます、 open=あけ(e)ます、 stop= とめ(e)ます、

          oshie   masu         ake   masu           tome   masu

 


Exceptions of G2


Although some verbs like below have “i” sound before ます, they are G2 verbs. other examples: 降ります、足ります、出来ます、着ます、診ます)

 

See, Look at= i ます、 Wake up=おき i ます、 Borrow=かり i ます

 m i masu             ok i  masu            kar i masu

 


How to make


I will use おしえます as a example. Just remove ます, put  and we can get “Te-from おしえ て”. When we want to say “please do”, just put ください so finally we can get “おしえて ください”, Please teach-.

 


Group3 Verb


It has just 3 types so it might be good to just memorize.

 

きますCome / Its Teform is "きて".

 

します Do/ Its Teform is "して".

 

--- します/ Its Teform is ――+して


 e.g. べんきょうします→べんきょうして、りょうりします→りょうりして
