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, I always eat fruit with my family.”)
  • 〜だけ and counters after a noun or a counter means ‘only’. A counter such as , or gives a number of things and usually stands right before the verb. (“But, there is only one apple inside the box.”)

English

The Supermarket’s Apple

Right now, I am at the supermarket.
After eating dinner, I always eat fruit with my family.
Therefore, today I want to buy a lot of apples.
But, there is only one apple inside the box.
I ask the store staff, “Are there more?”, but there are no more.
It is a pity, but I will buy that apple and some bananas, and go home.
