Grammar / Notes

  • 〜とき (when) means ‘when …’ and sets the time of the main clause. It follows a plain-form verb or an i-adjective; a na-adjective takes , and a noun takes . (“While I was shopping, it started raining outside.”)
  • Sentence-final ね at the end of a sentence seeks agreement or shares a feeling with the listener, like ‘isn’t it?’ or ‘right?’. (“A person at the supermarket said, ‘The rain stopped, right?’”)
