1. Identifying Objects

日本語 英語
例: これ  本田さん  かばん です。  This is Mr. Hondas bag.

In lesson 2 we learned "Noun の Noun"( 本田のかばん). Now we will add on to these using the following こ,、それ, あれ.

This will create the statements. "This is someone's something."

 

Remember:

これ = This 

それ = That

あれ = That over there

Use these inserts to create a sentence.

1 .これ, 川口さん, カメラ
2. あれ, 山田さん, いす
3. それ, ジェイソン, くるま
4. これ, サラ, 自転車
5. それ, ジュン, 友達


例) それ, ジョン, 本

それジョンです。

That is John's book.

2. Also - も

日本語 英語

私は学生です。 私学生です。

本田さんは大学生じゃありません。 私も大学生じゃありません。

私の名前はジェイソンです。 私も。

I am a student. I am also a student. ( I am a student too.)

Mr. Honda is not a university student.  I am a university student too.

My name is Jason. Mine too.

Grammar Notes:

When someone makes a statement about them self, you can substitute the particle "" for "" to state that you also have that in common. "も" represents the English "also" or "too."

Note: This can be used in both positive and negative statements.

 

Try answer to these statements. Indicating that you also have that in common:

私はカナダ人です。

ジョンさんは大学生です。

私は日本人じゃない。

 

3. Asking And Answering - Yes/No Questions

ジョンは大学生ですか。
はい、ジョンは大学生です。

これはジョンの傘ですか。
いいえ、ジョンの傘じゃありません。

それはあなたの犬ですか。
はい、そうです。

Is John a university student? or Are you a university student?
Yes, John is a university student.

Is this John's umbrella?
No, it is not John's umbrella.

Is that your dog?
Yes, that's right.

Grammar Notes:

Question: Noun は Noun です

Answer: (Yes...) はい/ええ、 (Noun は) Noun です
Answer: (Yes, that's right.) そう です。 

Answer: (No...) いいえ、 (Noun は) Noun じゃありません。
Answer: (No, that's not right.) そう じゃありません。

はい is a more polite way to say "yes," where ええ is a more casual way to say "yes."

The topic noun (Noun は) can be omitted when answering questions.
