Day N4 - 10 - Grammar Practice
Complementary Exercises: Daily N4 - Day 10
After reading the lesson text, practice the grammar points introduced in Day N4-10.
These exercises focus on recognizing mistakes, choosing correct patterns,
and producing your own sentences.
They are divided into three study sessions. Each session focuses on a different way of practicing the grammar learned in the shadowing lesson.
Grammar practiced:
✓ V[dictionary form]ใใจใซใใพใ
✓ V[dictionary form]ใใจใซใชใใพใ
✓ V[ใฆ-form]ใใใใพใใใ
✓ V[ใฆ-form]ใใใพใใใ
1. Understand
Goal: Recognize and understand how the grammar is used.
Focus on identifying correct patterns and noticing common mistakes.
๐ Find the Error
Identify the sentence that contains a grammar mistake or unnatural usage.
Goal: Train your ability to notice incorrect grammar patterns and avoid common mistakes.
1: Which sentence is grammatically incorrect?
ChoicesD
Correct Sentence: ๅฎฟ้กใใใใใจใซใใพใใ。
Explanation: The grammar pattern 〜ใใจใซใใ (to decide to do something) strictly requires the preceding verb to be in its plain dictionary form or negative nai-form because the word koto is a nominalizer that turns the action into a noun phrase.
2: Which sentence is grammatically incorrect?
ChoicesC
Correct Sentence: ๆๆฅใฏๅบใใใชใใใจใซใชใใพใใ。
Explanation: The grammar pattern 〜ใใจใซใชใ, which indicates that a schedule, rule, or decision has been arranged, requires the preceding verb to be in its plain dictionary form or plain negative nai-form.
3: Which sentence is grammatically incorrect?
ChoicesB
Correct Sentence: ใกใใฃใจ、ใใใงๅพ ใฃใฆใใใพใใใ。
Explanation: The request pattern 〜ใฆใใใพใใใ (won't you please do something for me?) strictly requires the preceding verb to be conjugated into its te-form so that it can grammatically link to the auxiliary verb kuremasu.
4: Which sentence is grammatically incorrect?
ChoicesD
Correct Sentence: ๆๆฅ、ๅคงๅญฆใธ่กใใใจใซใใพใ。
Explanation: The expression 〜ใใจใซใใ (to decide on doing something) is a fixed grammatical pattern that strictly uses the target particle ni to mark the decision, indicating a transition into a specific state or choice.
✅ Choice
Choose the best option to complete the sentence.
Goal: Practice selecting the correct grammar form according to the context.
1: ใพใ ใใใใพใใใ、ใใถใ็งใฏๆฅๆใใๅคง้ชใงๅใ( )。
ChoicesB
Explanation: While both 〜ใใจใซใใ (personal choice) and 〜ใใจใซใชใ (external decision or arrangement) express a outcome/decision, the introductory clause ใพใ ใใใใพใใใ ("I'm not sure yet, but...") indicates that the workplace assignment is dependent on external factors—such as an official company transfer or schedule—rather than a direct personal preference, making the passive structure of 〜ใใจใซใชใ the only naturally cohesive grammar pattern here.
2: ใใฎ้ป่ปใซไนใใจ、็ฉบๆธฏใธ่กใ( )。
ChoicesC
Explanation: The conditional structure 〜ใจ expresses an automatic consequence or natural result, indicating that taking this train inevitably leads to reaching the airport regardless of personal intention, which strictly requires 〜ใใจใซใชใ to describe an established fact or natural outcome rather than 〜ใใจใซใใ (personal choice or intention).
3: A: ๆๆฅใฎใใผใใฃใผ、่กใ? B: ใใ、็งใฏ้ข็ฝใใใ ใใ、่กใ( )。
ChoicesB
Explanation: The expression 〜ใใจใซใใ denotes a deliberate personal decision or voluntary choice, perfectly aligning with the speaker's self-motivated reason (้ข็ฝใใใ ใใ) for attending the party, whereas 〜ใใจใซใชใ implies an external arrangement made by someone else or a circumstantial event outside the speaker's control.
4: ใใใซๅๅใๆธใใจ、ๅๅ ใ็ณใ่พผใ( )。
ChoicesB
Explanation: The conditional 〜ใจ describes an automatic rule or procedural result—stipulating that writing your name here automatically counts as signing up—which strictly requires 〜ใใจใซใชใ to represent an established system outcome rather than 〜ใใจใซใใ (a deliberate personal choice).
✏️ Correct
Find and fix the grammar mistake in the sentence.
Goal: Practice applying grammar rules and producing accurate Japanese sentences.
1: ๆฅๆ、ๆฐใใไบๅๆใธๅผใฃ่ถใใพใใใจใซใชใใพใใ。
ๆฅๆ、ๆฐใใไบๅๆใธๅผใฃ่ถใใใจใซใชใใพใใ。
Explanation: When using the expression 〜ใใจใซใชใใพใใ to state a decision or arrangement made by an organization or external party, the verb directly preceding it must be in the dictionary form (plain/informal present tense), not the polite 〜ใพใ form.
2: ๆฏๆ、ๆฉใ่ตทใใพใใใจใซใใพใ。
ๆฏๆ、ๆฉใ่ตทใใใใจใซใใพใ。
Explanation: The structure 〜ใใจใซใใพใ expresses a personal decision or habit, and like similar grammatical markers built with the nominalizer ใใจ, it must be directly preceded by a verb in its dictionary (plain) form rather than the polite 〜ใพใ form.
3: ๆๆฅ、ๅญฆๆ กใฏ3ๆใซๅงใพใใพใใใจใซใชใใพใใ。
ๆๆฅ、ๅญฆๆ กใฏ3ๆใซๅงใพใใใจใซใชใใพใใ。
Explanation: Similar to 〜ใใจใซใใพใ, the pattern 〜ใใจใซใชใใพใใ indicates a decision or schedule established by an authority or official group and strictly requires a verb in its dictionary (plain) form before ใใจ.
2. Practice
Goal: Practice using the grammar in different situations.
Apply the grammar by correcting, transforming, and creating sentences.
๐ Find the Error
Identify the sentence that contains a grammar mistake or unnatural usage.
Goal: Train your ability to notice incorrect grammar patterns and avoid common mistakes.
1: Which sentence is grammatically incorrect?
ChoicesC
Correct Sentence: ใใฟใพใใ、ใใฎๆผขๅญใฎ่ชญใฟๆนใๆใใฆใใใพใใใ。
Explanation: When asking someone to do something for you using ~ใฆใใใพใใใ (won't you please... / could you please...), the main verb must always be in its -te form (te-form).
2: Which sentence is grammatically incorrect?
ChoicesB
Correct Sentence: ใใฟใพใใ、็ชใ้ใใฆใใใพใใใ。
Explanation: When asking someone to do something for you using ~ใฆใใใพใใใ (won't you please... / could you please...), the main verb must always be in its -te form (te-form).
3: Which sentence is grammatically incorrect?
ChoicesD
Correct Sentence: ๆฅๆ、ๅๆตท้ใธๆ ่กใใใใจใซใใพใใ。
Explanation: To express a personal decision or resolution using ~ใใจใซใใ (to decide to do something), a verb in its dictionary (plain) form must be followed by ใใจ to nominalize it before adding me ใซใใพใใ.
4: Which sentence is grammatically incorrect?
ChoicesC
Correct Sentence: ใใฟใพใใ、ใใใงๅพ ใฃใฆใใใใพใใใ。
Explanation: Making a polite request with ~ใฆใใใใพใใใ requires attaching ใฆใใใใพใใใ directly to the -te form of the verb.
5: Which sentence is grammatically incorrect?
ChoicesA
Correct Sentence: ๆฏๆ、้ๅใใใใใจใซใใพใ。
Explanation: Option A incorrectly replaces the direct object particle ใ with ใ, breaking standard verb complementation and making the phrase ungrammatical.
✏️ Correct
Find and fix the grammar mistake in the sentence.
Goal: Practice applying grammar rules and producing accurate Japanese sentences.
1: ๅญฆๆ กใ็ตใใฃใใ、็ใง้ฃไบใใพใใใจใซใใพใ。
ๅญฆๆ กใ็ตใใฃใใ、็ใง้ฃไบใใใใจใซใใพใ。
Explanation: The expression 〜ใใจใซใใพใ is used to declare a personal decision or plan, and it strictly requires the preceding verb to be in its plain dictionary form rather than the polite 〜ใพใ form.
2: ใ้กใใใใใใงใใ、ใกใใฃใจๆไผใใใใใพใใใ。
ใ้กใใใใใใงใใ、ใกใใฃใจๆไผใฃใฆใใใใพใใใ。
Explanation: To combine a verb with the auxiliary request pattern 〜ใฆใใใใพใใใ ("Could you please do... for me?"), the preceding verb must be conjugated into its ใฆ-form, not its dictionary form.
3: ใใฎ่ท็ฉใ้ใถใใใพใใใ。
ใใฎ่ท็ฉใ้ใใงใใใพใใใ。
Explanation: When asking someone to perform a favor using the polite request pattern 〜ใใใพใใใ, the preceding verb must be conjugated into its ใฆ-form rather than attached as a stem.
4: ๆฅๅนด、ๅคงๅญฆ้ขใซๅ ฅใใพใใใจใซใใพใ。
ๆฅๅนด、ๅคงๅญฆ้ขใซๅ ฅใใใจใซใใพใ。
Explanation: The expression 〜ใใจใซใใพใ is used to declare a personal decision or plan, and it strictly requires the preceding verb to be in its plain dictionary form rather than the polite 〜ใพใ form.
5: ่ฒทใ็ฉใซไปใๅใใใใใพใใใ。
่ฒทใ็ฉใซไปใๅใฃใฆใใใใพใใใ。
Explanation: When using the polite request pattern 〜ใฆใใใใพใใใ ("Could you please do... for me?"), the preceding verb must be in its ใฆ-form to properly link the action to the auxiliary verb.
✏️ Rewrite
Rewrite the sentence using the given grammar pattern.
Goal: Practice expressing the same idea using different grammar structures.
1: ้ง ใพใงใฎ้ใๆใใฆใใ ใใ。
้ง ใพใงใฎ้ใๆใใฆใใใพใใใ。
Explanation: While both requests mean "Please tell me the way to the station," ๆใใฆใใใพใใใ (oshiete kuremasen ka) softens the tone compared to the original ๆใใฆใใ ใใ (oshiete kudasai) by phrasing the request as a negative question ("Won't you tell me?"), making it a more polite and consideration-focused way to ask someone for a favor in everyday interactions.
2: ๆฅๆใใ่ชๅใงๆ็ใไฝใใพใ。
ๆฅๆใใ่ชๅใงๆ็ใไฝใใใจใซใใพใ。
Explanation: While the original sentence ไฝใใพใ (tsukurimasu) is a simple statement of future action ("I will cook"), adding 〜ใใจใซใใพใ (~koto ni shimasu) emphasizes a personal choice or conscious decision made by the speaker ("I have decided to cook"), adding a strong nuance of personal determination to the commitment.
3: ๆๆฅ、้ป่ฉฑใใใใฆใใ ใใ。
ๆๆฅ、้ป่ฉฑใใใใฆใใใพใใใ。
Explanation: While the original ้ป่ฉฑใใใใฆใใ ใใ (denwa o kakete kudasai) is a direct instruction ("Please call me"), changing it to 〜ใฆใใใพใใใ (~te kuremasen ka) turns it into a gentle request ("Won't you give me a call?"), making the statement feel significantly less pushy and more considerate toward the listener.
4: ้ฃใน็ฉใ่ฒทใฃใฆใใ ใใ。
้ฃใน็ฉใ่ฒทใฃใฆใใใใพใใใ。
Explanation: By switching from the direct request ่ฒทใฃใฆใใ ใใ (katte kudasai, "Please buy food") to 〜ใฆใใใใพใใใ (~te moraemasen ka), the sentence shifts to a polite potential question ("Could I receive the favor of you buying food?"), which shows greater respect by explicitly asking for the listener's willingness rather than issuing a straight instruction.
5: ใกใใฃใจๆไผใฃใฆใใ ใใ。
ใกใใฃใจๆไผใฃใฆใใใใพใใใ。
Explanation: Replacing the direct command-like tone of ๆไผใฃใฆใใ ใใ (tetsudatte kudasai, "Please help me a bit") with 〜ใฆใใใใพใใใ (~te moraemasen ka) softens the request by asking about the listener's ability and willingness ("Could you possibly give me a hand?"), making it a much more considerate and polite way to ask for assistance.

1: Which sentence is grammatically incorrect?
ChoicesA
Correct Sentence: ใใฟใพใใ、ใใใซๅๅใๆธใใฆใใใพใใใ。
Explanation: Option A incorrectly uses the subject particle ใ instead of ใ with the transitive verb, breaking standard verb complementation and making the sentence ungrammatical.
2: Which sentence is grammatically incorrect?
ChoicesD
Correct Sentence: ใใฟใพใใ、ใใณใ่ฒธใใฆใใใใพใใใ。
Explanation: Option D incorrectly uses the subject particle ใ with the transitive verb instead of ใ.
3: Which sentence is grammatically incorrect?
ChoicesC
Correct Sentence: ใใฟใพใใ、ใใฎๆผขๅญใฎ่ชญใฟๆนใๆใใฆใใใใพใใใ。
Explanation: Requesting a favor using ~ใฆใใใใพใใใ requires attaching ใฆใใใใพใใใ directly to the -te form of the verb to express a polite request.
4: Which sentence is grammatically incorrect?
ChoicesB
Correct Sentence: ใใฟใพใใ、็ชใ้ใใชใใงใใใพใใใ。
Explanation: To politely ask someone not to do something using ~ใใใพใใใ, you must attach ใใใพใใใ to the -nai de form (~ใชใใง) of the verb rather than the plain negative form alone.
✅ Choice
Choose the best option to complete the sentence.
Goal: Practice selecting the correct grammar form according to the context.
1: ๅ ่ผฉ、ใๅฟใใใจใใใใฟใพใใใ、ใใฎ็ฟป่จณใ่ฆใฆ( )。
ChoicesA
Explanation: When asking a senior colleague or superior (ๅ ่ผฉ) for a favor in a polite context, using the negative potential form 〜ใฆใใใใพใใใ provides an appropriately respectful and indirect request ("could you please do me the favor of looking at this?"), whereas 〜ใใใพใใใ sounds too direct and familiar for addressing someone higher in hierarchy.
2: A: ๅคงๅญฆ้ข、่กใ? B: ใใ、็งใฏใใฃใฑใ่กใ( )。
ChoicesD
Explanation: The discourse markers ใใ ("Alright!") and ใใฃใฑใ ("after all") explicitly signal a firm personal resolution reached after prior deliberation, requiring the active structure 〜ใใจใซใใ to express a voluntary choice rather than 〜ใใจใซใชใ (a decision determined by outside forces or arrangements).
3: ็งใฏใ้ใไฝฟใใใใใฎใง、ใใใใใฏ่ฒทใ็ฉใๆธใใ( )。
ChoicesB
Explanation: The speaker's self-reflection on overspending leads directly to a conscious personal resolution to cut back on shopping, which requires the voluntary grammar structure 〜ใใจใซใใ to express a deliberate self-imposed choice rather than 〜ใใจใซใชใ (an external requirement or automatic arrangement).
4: ใใ、็งใฏไปๆฅใใๆฏๆใธใงใฎใณใฐใๅงใใ( )。
ChoicesC
Explanation: The energetic interjection ใใ ("Alright!") signals a spontaneous personal resolution to adopt a new daily habit, making the voluntary structure 〜ใใจใซใใ the only appropriate choice to convey a self-imposed commitment rather than 〜ใใจใซใชใ (an external arrangement or rule).
✏️ Correct
Find and fix the grammar mistake in the sentence.
Goal: Practice applying grammar rules and producing accurate Japanese sentences.
1: ๆฅ้ฑใฎๆฅๆๆฅ、ๅผใฃ่ถใใใใพใใใจใซใชใใพใใ。
ๆฅ้ฑใฎๆฅๆๆฅ、ๅผใฃ่ถใใใใใใจใซใชใใพใใ。
Explanation: The construction 〜ใใจใซใชใใพใใ indicates a decision or arrangement made by an external factor or official group and strictly requires a plain dictionary form verb before the nominalizer ใใจ.
2: ๆฅๆ、ๅธฐๅฝใใพใใใจใซใใพใ。
ๆฅๆ、ๅธฐๅฝใใใใจใซใใพใ。
Explanation: The pattern 〜ใใจใซใใพใ expresses a personal choice or decision and must always be preceded by a verb in its dictionary (plain) form.
3: ใกใใฃใจ้ใใซใใใใใพใใใ。
ใกใใฃใจ้ใใซใใฆใใใพใใใ。
Explanation: When asking someone to perform an action using the polite request phrasing 〜ใใใพใใใ, the preceding verb must be conjugated into its ใฆ-form.
✏️ Rewrite
Rewrite the sentence using the given grammar pattern.
Goal: Practice expressing the same idea using different grammar structures.
1: ่ดใ็ฉใ้ธใใงใใ ใใ。
่ดใ็ฉใ้ธใใงใใใใพใใใ。
Explanation: While ้ธใใงใใ ใใ (erande kudasai) functions as a standard, straightforward request ("Please choose a present"), changing the structure to 〜ใฆใใใใพใใใ (~te moraemasen ka) transforms it into a polite, considerate inquiry ("Could you help me choose a present?"), showing extra respect for the recipient's time and choice.
2: ไปๆฅใใๆฏๆฅ้จๅฑใ็ไปใใพใ。
ไปๆฅใใๆฏๆฅ้จๅฑใ็ไปใใใใจใซใใพใ。
Explanation: While the original ็ไปใใพใ (katadukemasu) simply states a future action ("I will clean my room every day starting today"), using 〜ใใจใซใใพใ (~koto ni shimasu) highlights a strong, active personal decision ("I have decided to clean my room every day starting today"), adding a layer of firm commitment and self-resolve to the statement.
3: ๆฅๆใใใใฎๅญฆๆ กใฏ5ๆใซ้ใพใใพใ。
ๆฅๆใใใใฎๅญฆๆ กใฏ5ๆใซ้ใพใใใจใซใชใใพใ。
Explanation: While the original ้ใพใใพใ (shimarimasu) is a simple factual statement ("This school closes at 5 o'clock starting next month"), appending 〜ใใจใซใชใใพใ (~koto ni narimasu) shifts the focus to an established rule, policy, or decision made by an external authority or organization ("It has been decided/arranged that this school will close at 5 o'clock starting next month"), giving it an official and objective nuance.
๐ฌ Complete the Dialogue
Fill in the blank to complete the conversation using the proposed grammar pattern.
Goal: Practice applying specific grammar structures to construct natural responses in realistic conversation contexts.
Question 1:
A:ใ้กใใใใใใงใใ。
B:ใฏใ、ไฝใงใใ。
A:______。
B:ใใใงใใ。
ใใฎๆธ้กใใณใใผใใฆใใใใพใใใ。
Explanation: In this dialogue, Person A introduces a favor using 「ใ้กใใใใใใงใใ」(I have a favor to ask) and Person B responds encouragingly with 「ใฏใ、ไฝใงใใ」(Yes, what is it?), establishing a polite tone. The target grammar 「〜ใฆใใใใพใใใ」 (could you please do [action] for me?) expresses a polite request by asking if the listener is willing to perform an action for the speaker's benefit. Therefore, the Suggested Answer complete the dialogue perfectly because asking to copy documents fits the expected request structure, and Person B's positive response 「ใใใงใใ」(Sure / No problem) directly accepts this polite favor.
Question 2:
A:้จๅฑใๆฑใใฆใใพใฃใใใงใใ、ไปๆฅใฏ็จไบใใใใพใ。
B:ใใใชใใงใใ。
A:______。
B:ใใใใพใใ。
ๆชใใใฉ、ๅ ใซๆ้คใใฆใใใพใใใ。
Explanation: In this dialogue, Person A explains a personal problem by stating that their room got dirty but they are busy today with 「้จๅฑใๆฑใใฆใใพใฃใใใงใใ、ไปๆฅใฏ็จไบใใใใพใ」, to which Person B shows understanding with 「ใใใชใใงใใ」(Is that so?). The target grammar 「〜ใฆใใใพใใใ」 (could you do [action] for me?) is used to make a direct, casual request for a favor, while opening with 「ๆชใใใฉ」(I'm sorry to bother you, but...) softens the ask appropriately between acquaintances or colleagues. Therefore, the Suggested Answer fits the dialogue seamlessly because asking Person B to handle the cleaning beforehand directly resolves Person A's scheduling dilemma, leading smoothly into Person B's agreement 「ใใใใพใใ」(Got it / Understood).
Question 3:
A:ๆ่ฟ、ๆ่ตทใใใใชใใฆๅฐใฃใฆใใพใ。
B:ๅค、้
ใใพใงไฝใใใฆใใใใงใใ。
A:ๅฐ่ชฌใ่ชญใใงใใพใ。ใงใ、ๆๆฅใใ______。
B:ใใใงใใ。ใใใงใใญ。
ๆฉใๅฏใใใจใซใใพใ。
Explanation: In this dialogue, Person A shares a personal problem with 「ๆ่ฟ、ๆ่ตทใใใใชใใฆๅฐใฃใฆใใพใ」(I'm having trouble waking up in the morning lately) and admits the cause is reading novels late at night when prompted by Person B. The target grammar 「〜ใใจใซใใพใ」 (I have decided to / I will make it a rule to) is used when a speaker actively makes a personal decision or commits to a new course of action. Therefore, the Suggested Answer completes the dialogue perfectly because committing to go to bed earlier resolves the habit causing Person A's morning difficulty, which naturally prompts Person B's supportive reply 「ใใใงใใ。ใใใงใใญ」(I see. That sounds great!).
Question 4:
A:ใใฎๅบใฎๅ็ฉ、ใฉใใใใใใงใใญ。
B:ใใใงใใญ。ไฝใ่ฆใใใใฎใใใใพใใ。
A:______。
B:ใฏใ、ใฉใใ。
ใใฎๅ็ฉ、ใกใใฃใจ่ฆใใฆใใใใพใใใ。
Explanation: In this dialogue, Person A admires the shop's items with 「ใใฎๅบใฎๅ็ฉ、ใฉใใใใใใงใใญ」(Everything in this shop is so pretty, isn't it?), prompting Person B (likely a store clerk or companion) to offer help with 「ไฝใ่ฆใใใใฎใใใใพใใ」(Is there anything you'd like to see?). The target grammar 「〜ใฆใใใใพใใใ」 (could you please do [action] for me?) functions as a polite request asking someone to perform an action for the speaker's benefit, combined with the causative form 「่ฆใใ」(to show). Therefore, the Suggested Answer completes the interaction naturally because asking to be shown a specific item directly answers Person B's offer, making Person B's immediate permission 「ใฏใ、ใฉใใ」(Here you go / Sure, go ahead) the expected logical follow-up.
Question 5:
A:ๆฅๆ、็ฐไธญๅ
็ใฎๆๆฅญใใใใพใใ。
B:ใใใ。็ฐไธญๅ
็ใฏๆฅๆ、______。
A:ใใใชใใงใใ。
็ฐไธญๅ ็ใฏๆฅๆ、ๅธฐๅฝใใใใจใซใชใใพใใ。
Explanation: In this dialogue, Person A asks whether Professor Tanaka will be teaching next month using 「ๆฅๆ、็ฐไธญๅ ็ใฎๆๆฅญใใใใพใใ」(Is there Prof. Tanaka's class next month?), to which Person B replies negatively before explaining the schedule change. The target grammar 「〜ใใจใซใชใใพใใ」 (it has been decided that...) is used to express a decision or arrangement that was determined by external circumstances, official planning, or an outside authority rather than a purely personal, immediate choice. Therefore, the Suggested Answer fits the context seamlessly because explaining that the professor is scheduled to return to his home country accounts for why his class won't take place, naturally leading to Person A's acknowledging response 「ใใใชใใงใใ」(Is that so?).
