  • Adjectives as adverbs (〜く / 〜に) An adjective describes a verb by changing its ending: an i-adjective replaces with ( becomes ) and a na-adjective takes , as in and . (“I said quietly, ‘Excuse me, please take off your hat.’”)

The Hat at the Movie Theater

At night, I went to the movie theater alone.
When I watch a movie, I always sit in the same seat.
Today as well I sat there, but there was a tall man in front of me.
Because that person was wearing a big hat, I couldn’t see the movie.
I said quietly, “Excuse me, please take off your hat.”
The man took off his hat immediately.
