Welcome to Lesson 3!
You’ve built a solid foundation with Japanese characters and basic sentence structures. Now, get ready to bring your Japanese to life by learning verbs! Verbs are the core of expressing actions, activities, and everything you do (and don’t do) in your daily life.
In Lesson 3 at gokigen japanese blog, the main goal is to enable you to understand and express daily actions using Japanese verbs and to start understanding which particles are used with verbs to connect them correctly with nouns.
Key topics covered in this essential lesson include:
- Introducing Japanese Verb Groups: You will learn about the three main types of Japanese verbs: ru-verbs, u-verbs, and irregular verbs (like する and くる). Recognizing these groups is crucial for future verb conjugation.
- Expressing Daily Actions: Learn common verbs and how to use them in simple sentences to talk about everyday activities such as eating, drinking, going, coming, studying, and more.
- Understanding Particles with Verbs: We will begin to explore how particles function with verbs, helping you understand the relationships between the action and the things or places involved in the action.
- Using Particle も (Mo): Review and practice using the particle も (mo) in the context of verbs, such as saying you “also” do something.
- Time Expressions with Verbs: Learn how to combine the time expressions you know (both with and without particles like に) with verbs to indicate when an action takes place.
By the end of Lesson 3, you will be equipped to describe parts of your daily routine, talk about activities you enjoy, and form more dynamic sentences. This is a significant step towards fluency!
