    Help me with causative verbs! D:

    娘に 朝ご飯 の 準備を 手伝わせて います。

    I understood this sentence as "you get your daughter to help you cook".

    Maybe you don't want to say that.

    Do you want to say your daugter helps you cook voluntarily?

    In this case, you can say

    娘は朝ご飯の準備を手伝ってくれます。

    Or do you want to say you ask your daughter to help you?

    In this case, you can say

    娘に朝ご飯の準備を手伝ってもらっています。




    息子を 犬の世わを させて います。

    Maybe you want to say 息子に犬の世話をしてもらっています。

    毎週 息子を プールへ 行かせて います。

    It's difficult....

    If you force him to go to swimming pool, it's correct sentence.

    If you don't want to use  any causative verbs, I can guess only "息子は毎週プールへ行っています".

    Japanese causative verbs are very difficult.

    "行かせる" doesn't necessarily mean causative verb.

    If you allow your son to go to swimming pool, you can say "息子を プールへ 行かせて います" even though it doesn't mean causative sentence.



    娘を いつも ここで 遊ばせて います。

    I've understood that the general rule is: when there's an intransitive verb, the person that is allowed or made to do the action is followed by O when the verb is transitive, the particle used is NI

    My problem is sometimes understanding wether a verb is trans on intrans since it's doesn't always correspond to verbs in my language. For example with the second sentence: if i translate literary into italian it says "to do the care of the dog" to do-----> what?------> the care = transitive , but i'm never sure.

     

    I can really understand this!! When I study English, I often encounter the same problems!!

    By the way, "行く" is  an intransitive verb, but you can use

    ～へ行く

    ～に行く

    so it is not only "NI" but these are completely the same meaning.

    会う(meet) is also an intransitive verb.

    In this case, you can say

    Oと会う

    Just because these are sentences using an intransitive verb, all of them don't necessarily use "NI".

    However, if the sentence uses "NI", the verb used in the sentence is an intransitive verb.

    Rather, when there is not "wo", the following verb is an intransitive verb.

    This method might be easier, right?

    Transitive verbs are used as "OをVする".

    e.g

    ご飯を食べる

    本を読む

    明けましておめでとうございます！

    これまで、私は毎年イギリスで大晦日を過ごしました。ふるさとの友達とパーティをできることを逃したのに、日本でお正月の祝うことを楽しみました。今日はきれいな神社に行って、私は幸せと健康のような新年にを祈りました。青森県は３月まですごく雪が降るので、ちょっと心配しています！特別に運転することは危なそうです。もう道がすごく滑りやすくて、時々雪のために全然見えません。春が早く来るといいな...

     

    Do you want to say you were not able to spend  New Year's Eve　but you enjoyed spending the day in Japan?

    In this case,　you can say

    ふるさとの友達とのパーティには出席できませんでしたが、日本でお正月を楽しく祝いました。

    It means, you were not able to attend a party with your friend, but you celebrated New year with enjoying.

     

    "特別" means "special. "特に" means especially.

    I think you want to say "especially drivinga car seems dangerous".

    In this casem you can say

    特に車の運転は危険そうです。

    It's difficult ..... If you are sure of something, you can say 違いない. When you are not sure, but you can say it's correct from situation or something you know, you can say はずだ.

    You can use "～したい" as translation of "want". Also you can use "～したがる" as translation of "eager". You can use both sentences "I want to do something" or "I'm eager to do something." Eager is stronger than want.

    anybody help?

    last weekend , I visited the city where my younger female cousin lives ,
    she is going to graduate soon and will go back to my hometown.
    I have been looking at her grow-up from a little baby, and now she is a adult.
    time, you go too fast for our human being

    先週末、私は、私の年下の女性のいとこが住んでいる市を訪問しました。
    彼女はもうすぐ卒業しようとしていて、私の故郷に戻るつもりです。

    But does it mean her hometoen also? In this case, it might be better "go back to her home town".
    私は彼女が小さな赤ちゃんの頃から彼女の成長を見て来ました。

    そして今、彼女は大人だ。 　Do you want to mean, She has turned to an adult person?

    If so, you can say, そして今、彼女は大人になりました。


    時間は、あなたは私たち人間のために速すぎて行く

    Mybe you mean "time flies"

    There might be more beautifule literary words or sentences, but I'm sorry I couldn't find it.

    私のかぞく

    私のかぞくわ四人がいる えも一犬がいる
    わたしのかぞくわ母と父とおととがいる
    まいにち父は会社えいく、母はなにもしょとするです
    私とおととうは学校え行く
    でも
    今年私のがっこうわおしまえ
    いまおとと学校え行くわ一人です

     

    私の家族

    私には四人の家族と、一頭の犬がいます。　<- It's diddicult, because dog is not human....

    私の家族は母と父と弟(おとうと)です。

    In this case, you have 3 familiy members and you can sey "私は四人家族です".

    毎日父は会社へ行きます。

    Is your mother a houes wife? In this case, you can say "母は主婦(しゅふ)です"

     

    私と弟は一緒に学校へ行っていましたが、今年、私は卒業したので、今は弟は一人で学校へ行っています。

    Mybe this is correct sentence.

    This sentence means,

    I used to go to a school with my brother, but since I graduated the school, recently he has been going to the school alone.
