Verbs
by Can PangDear all,
This lesson is about verbs.
There are generally 2 types of verbs, transitive (他動詞/たどうし/ta-dou-shi) and intransitive verbs (自動詞/じどうし/ji-dou-shi).
As many of you may know, transitive verbs take in a object and intransitive verbs don't take in an object.
Today. We will talk about transitive verbs.
The general structure with a transitive verb is like this.
Person wa Object o Verb
E.g
HKさん は いちご を たべます。
HK san wa Ichigo o tabemasu
HK is going to eat/will eat strawberry
Samuelさん は みず を のみます
Samuel san wa mizu o nomimasu
Samuel is going to drink/will drink water.
__________________________________________________________________________________________
To make the sentence become a question, add a か(ka) after the verb.
Sentence Structure:
Person wa Object o Verb ka
E.g
HKさんは いちご を たべますか。
HK san wa Ichigo o tabemasu ka
Is HK going to eat/will eat strawberry?
Samuelさん は みず を のみますか
Samuel san wa mizu o nomimasu ka
Is Samuel going to drink/will drink water?
You can also replace the object with the question word "なに/nani" and then add a か/ka behind to make it a question.
E.g
Samuelさん は なに を のみますか。
Samuel san wa nani o nomimasu ka.
What is Samuel going to drink/will drink?
。。。みず を のみます。
...mizu o nomimasu.
He will drink water.
