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. (“That person walked with me and showed me the way.”)
  • Linking adjectives (〜くて / 〜で) To describe something with two adjectives, an i-adjective drops and takes ( becomes ), and a na-adjective or noun takes ; only the last one carries . (“The inside of the station was spacious, and I didn’t know where the ticket counter was.”)
