Verbs Part 2
by Can PangDear all,
In the previous, we are going further into verbs.
As mentioned in the lesson on 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.
The general structure 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
============================================
In this lesson, we are going to learn how to say the location where you do an action.
The structure is like this.
Person wa Place de Object o Verb
E.g
HKさん は うちで いちご を たべます。
HK san wa uchi de ichigo o tabemasu
HK is going to eat/will eat strawberry at home.
If you at a 「か」 at the back, it will become a question.
E.g
HKさん は うちで いちご を たべますか
HK san wa uchi de ichigo o tabemasu ka
Is HK is going to eat/will eat strawberry at home?
。。。はい、うちで たべます。 (hai, uchi de tabemasu/Yes, he is going to eat/will eat at home.)
。。。いいえ、うちで たべません。 (iie, uchi de tabemasen/No he is not going to/will not eat at home)
======================================
To make the verb become negative, change the 「ます/masu」 to 「ません/masen」。
E.g
たべます (to eat)
たべません(not to eat)
のみます (to drink)
のみません (not to drink)
======================================
To make the verb become past tense, change the 「ます/masu」 to 「ました/mashita」。
E.g
たべます (to eat)
たべました(ate)
のみます (to drink)
のみました (drank)
======================================
To make the verb become negative past tense, change the 「ます/masu」 to 「ませんでした/masen deshita」。
E.g
たべます (to eat)
たべませんでした(did not ate)
のみます (to drink)
のみませんでした (did not drink)
======================================
Try the following sentences and see if you can get the answers.
======================================
1. Annie drank a coke at KFC
2. Sister (いもうと/imouto) ate lunch (ひるごはん) at home
3. Bryan did not buy chicken (チキン/chikin) at Macdonalds. He bought it at Long John Silvers
4. Hiroki wrote a letter (てがみ/tegami) in Shibuya.
5. Did Peter buy coffee at Starbucks? No, he didn’t.
