Grammar / Notes

  • 〜てから (after doing) attaches to the て-form and means ‘after doing X’: the action before it is completed first, and the main clause follows. (“After eating dinner at my friend’s house, I put on my coat.”)
  • 〜ています (state) With some verbs such as , or , describes an ongoing state rather than an action in progress. (“At that time, my friend said, ‘Ah, the dog is wearing a hat.’”)

English

The Dog and the Blue Hat

After eating dinner at my friend’s house, I put on my coat.
But my blue hat was not there.
I looked at various places in the room, but it was not there.
At that time, my friend said, “Ah, the dog is wearing a hat.”
When I looked, my friend’s dog was truly wearing it, so I was surprised.
It was very cute, but because it is an important hat, I worried a little.
