We went through slides 1 to 6 of MDJ L8・9. We checked the homework up to the ます-form conjugation section, then reviewed the ます-form patterns by building sentences.
Verb conjugation has become noticeably faster than in earlier lessons. Dictionaly form comes out without hesitation.
In situations where んです would be the natural choice, the ます-form was used instead. Some verbs were recalled immediately; others did not come to mind.
Flashcard practice is recommended to continue building vocabulary.
Sample Sentences
★ます-form Patterns いきます/いきません/いきました/いきませんでした (go / don't go / went / didn't go)
★Making Sentences まいにち TWICEの どうがを みます。 (I watch TWICE videos every day.) きのうは コンサートに いきませんでした。 (I didn't go to the concert yesterday.)
まいあさ = every morning べんきょうします = to study りょうりします = to cook そうじします = to clean うんどうします = to exercise はたらきます = to work おきます = wake up ねます = sleep / go to bed
We started L8 and went through slides 1 and 2. We covered the six ます-form patterns (ます / ません / ました / ませんでした /ますか / ませんか) and confirmed that the part before ます does not change for any verb group. ませんでした was new this time.
We also practiced て形 for listing actions, and 〜てくれてありがとう.
Verbs were produced without much hesitation, and てform conversion was faster than in previous lessons.
Homework: slides 3 to 8.
