Japanese Lesson for beginners 4-6 私は まいばん 11じ に ねます(1) みなさん、こんばんは。 今、夜の 8時 20分 です。 - いま、よるの はちじ にじゅっぷん です。 I'm going to do some reviews since we're learning slightly a lot at once. Last time, we learnt a couple of verbs for the first time. はたらきます( to work )、やすみます( to be absent/ to take day off/ to have a break..) 。 We made some sentences using the verbs and what we have already leanrt, a term or period, such as "A から B まで” which is "from A to B" in English. 私は 月曜日 から 金曜日 まで はたらきます。( I work from Monday to Friday ) We mainly use this form of verb(I'm not calling it "present simple") to ... 1) talk about habits or things that happen on a regular basis. 2) describe things that are always true. 3) situations that exist now and, as far as we know, will go on indefinitely And... 4) talk about what to do in the future No.4 might sound a bit strange but we have only past form and non-past form in Japanese verbs. So, "I will work tomorrow" is " 私は あした はたらきます。” Alright, review は ここ まで です。 I ended up sparing a whole page for the review...! つづきます。
