konbanwa! Thank you for joining the first lesson of March. It was great to see you! In today's lesson, we learned and practiced the new sentence, "watashiwa super de tabemono wo kaimasu, I will buy food at the supermarket."
Grammar point: This sentence shows the place and the action. For example, "Watashi wa konbini de beer o kaimasu." When you change it to the past tense, it becomes "Watashi wa konbini de beer o kaimashita." You asked about "I didn't buy anything," which is“Nanimo kaimasen deshita."
You did a great job creating sentences using kaimasu and the target pattern. Thank you for your hard work today! Have a wonderful week. See you in two weeks!
Thank you for always engaging in my lessons. Please check again the m-group of both hiragana and katakana.
New vocaburaly: かいしゃ：office, company がっこう： school にほんごのレッスン：Japanese lesson
Timeに Placeで Eventが あります。（Don't add "に" to きょう、あした、あさって） 3月21日に がっこうで しけんが あります。I have an exam at school on March 21st. あさって かいしゃで かいぎが あります。I have a meeting at the office the day after tomorrow. まいしゅうにちようびに いえで にほんごのレッスンがあります。I have a Japanese lesson at home every Sunday.
Today, we studied several important grammar points. Here is a summary of what we learned.
① Comparison
しんかんせんより ひこうきの ほうが はやいです。 An airplane is faster than the bullet train.
Grammar point: A より B のほうが + adjective = B is more ~ than A
Example: でんしゃより バスのほうが やすいです。 The bus is cheaper than the train.
② いちばん（Superlative）
いちねんの なかで いつが いちばん すきですか。 When is the best time of the year for you?
ふゆが いちばん すきです。 I like winter the best.
Grammar point: N のなかで N が いちばん + adjective = the most ~ in ~
Example: くだものの なかで りんごが いちばん すきです。 I like apples the best among fruits.
③ Combining verbs with て-form
ほんやに いって、マンガを かいます。 I go to a bookstore and buy a manga.
Grammar point: Verb (て-form) + Verb = do A and then do B
This is used when actions happen in sequence.
Example: えいがを みて、ごはんを たべました。 I watched a movie and ate a meal.
④ Past actions
きのう なにを しましたか。 What did you do yesterday?
えいがかんに いって、デスノートを みました。 I went to a movie theater and watched Death Note.
Example from class: にほんごを べんきょうして、そうじを しました。 I studied Japanese and cleaned.
Today’s lesson focused on comparisons, superlatives, and using the て-form to connect actions. In conversation practice, you talked about your preferences and what you did yesterday using the て-form. You did a great job!
