Friday, May 16th -- test on Nakama Chapter 10


Monday and Tuesday, May 26th and 27th during class time -- scantron final


Wednesday, May 28th at 10:15 -- oral final






The class reviewed sentence patterns with an eye to understanding why relational particles are used in particular ways.  They reflect the function of the word in a particular sentence.  A word like "Tokyo" can be a subject, or a direct object, or a place where something happens, or a destination.


Examples:
とおきょう　は　ひろい　です。　Tokyo is big/spacious.
ひこうき　から　とうきょう　を　見て　下さい。　Please look at Tokyo from the plane.
友達　は　とうきょう　で　勉強　します。
みなさん、とうきょう　に　行きましょう。

SENTENCE   PATTERNS:

1. T T P O V (active verb)                    2. T T T D V (traveling verb)                                3. は/が pattern

Time, topic, place, object, verb/active                 time, topic, transport, destination, verb/traveling

4. sentences with existence verbs   [います、あります]

            Place の position に   subject    が    います //  あります。
