Grammar Stuff

This last the biggest thing that you've learned to do is work on the て form to combine several sentences. In the past you've learned that you can use ～ て　ください to make a request as in

「　すわって、くささい　」（Please sit down).

 Perhaps you've even learned 　て、います　as in：

「　たべて、　います。」　（I'm eating)

But the focus of this chapter is learning how to predictably change the verb so that you can guess the right form.

<imgsrc>

In the above graphic, there are three types of changes going on: Red, Yellow, and Blue. 

If you look to page 25 and 26 of your book. The RED are group 1 verbs, the BLUE are group 2 verbs and the YELLOW are group 3 verbs.

Group 1 - Predictably changes
Group 2 - Changes according to rules (see above)
             - My biggest recommendation for these verbs is to learn about the changes and if you can get one, then the others will follow the same pattern.  In order to return to ます try saying all the options in your head and see which one works the most.
Group 3 - These are the special verbs きます　and します　These two verbs follow their own set of rules across the board, so just memorize them.

pp. 20 ています
ex.　いま、なに　を　していますか？
　　　What are you doing now?

　　いま、すしをたべています。
　　　I'm eating sushi right now

pp. 22 て　Form meaning AND
This one uses て　to mean and , putting two ideas together.

ex. わたし　は　ぎんこう　に　いって、スーパー　にも　いきます。
　I am going to go to the bank, and then I'm also going to the supermarket.

On page 22, you learn 3 different combinations:
1.Combining 2 different Sentences - use te form.
2.Combining 2 different adjectives - For い　adjectives you can add くて
3. and finally using です　to combine 2 sentences.　－　で is the て　form of です。

1.  トムさん　は　ともだち　に　あって、ばんごはん　を　たべます。
　Tom is going to meet with friends and eat dinner.
2. このすし　は　おいしくて、やすいです。
　This sushi is delicious and cheap.
3．ぼくのはは　は　ラメン　が　すき　で、いつも　ラメン　を　たべて　います。
　My mother likes ramen noodes, and she is always eating ramen.

Please ask me if you have any questions at all. I'm here to help ;)
