We had fun in the class today, too. Both of you are good at making example sentences.（じょうずです！）I am looking forward to your new sentences in your homework.
Konbanwa! Thank you for joining the lesson of March! It was great to see you! In today's lesson, we continued learning verbs in Lesson 7. The past tense is used to talk about actions that already happened. The basic rule is simple: the ending "masu" changes to "mashita" in the past tense, and to make a negative past tense we change "masen" to "masen deshita". For example, WH questions and answers: - Kinou doko e ikimashita ka?”(Where did you go yesterday?) → Kaisha e ikimashita. - "Kinou nan-ji ni okimashita ka?”(What time did you get up yesterday?) → 6-ji ni okimashita. - "Kinou nan-ji ni nemashita ka?”(What time did you go to bed?) → 11-ji ni nemashita.
We practiced four forms of Japanese verbs that are all made by replacing the ending "masu" with the appropriate ending: Present Tense, Negative Present Tense, Past Tense, and Negative Past Tense.
Additional: "Itadakimasu”is a Japanese phrase said before eating. "Gochisousama" is a phrase said after finishing a meal.
I'm sorry if I caused any confusion. Thank you for understanding the rules of the past tense. I'm really glad we could study together and enjoy the lesson. Thank you for your effort today,too! Have an excellent weekend. See you in April!
