Grammar / Notes

  • 〜てください (please do) attaches to the て-form of a verb to make a polite request or give a polite instruction. (“‘Excuse me, please close the window.’”)
  • いちばん (the most) before an adjective marks the highest degree (‘the most …’); the group compared is often given with . (“It felt like the coldest day of the year.”)
  • 〜と思おもいます (I think) expresses an opinion or belief. The clause before takes the plain form. In the affirmative non-past, nouns and na-adjectives normally take before . (“It felt like the coldest day of the year.”)
