Grammar / Notes

  • て-form linking actions The て-form joins two actions in order: X、Y means ‘do X and then Y’. Only the last verb carries the tense and the politeness. (“I quickly went to the hospital and showed the medicine to the receptionist.”)
  • Adjectives as adverbs (〜く / 〜に) An adjective describes a verb by changing its ending: an i-adjective replaces with ( becomes ) and a na-adjective takes , as in and . (“I quickly went to the hospital and showed the medicine to the receptionist.”)

Children’s Medicine

Last week, I received cold medicine at the hospital.
I looked at the medicine at home, but it was children’s medicine.
I quickly went to the hospital and showed the medicine to the receptionist.
The receptionist said, “Ah, it is wrong, isn’t it. I am sorry.”
I received new medicine, but I was a little tired.
