みんなの日本語L22-4:こんにちは。I am Japanese. To study English, I am teaching Japanese in English. Write your sentences with “Noun1は + Noun2が with Relative Clauseを + Verb”. I will check your sentences for JLPT N5 Beginner and Intermediate learners.


**①Improvement of Writing and Speaking**

こんにちは。I am Japanese. To study English, I am teaching Japanese in English. In this series, I will share my way of practicing N5 to Beginner and Intermediate level learners who want to review grammar by writing sentences.

This series also contains Speaking exercises for Beginner level. Usually, beginners have difficulty judging which topic is more important. From Japanese speaker’s viewpoint, I will choose the more important and skip the less important grammar topics. This way, you can save time. This could be considered a shortcut.

If you try to write your answer in accordance with the “②Instruction of Exercise” below and post them within “48 hours” from posting this thread, I will try to comment on and check your sentences. Although I cannot respond to all (Especially, off topic) because I have limited time, I will try to comment. Also, I welcome you to follow my SNS and Reddit account.

​

**②Instruction of Exercise**

If you are N5 Beginner level, start from “**Procedure 1”**. If you are intermediate level learner, see **“Procedure 2”**.

**“Procedure1 for Beginner Level”**

(Step1): Check “Vocabulary” meaning in the list from the below link.

(Step2): Check and understand “Grammar” from the below link.

(Step3):You can check “Speaking Practice Video” in the below link and get used to how to use appropriately this time grammar topic to make sentence. You can also check “Practice Sheet”. You can use it for your speaking practice.

​

(Step4): Writing Exercise:

(W1) Read “☆Basic Example Dialogue” between Person A&B below. The Dialogue contains Grammar Topic **“**Noun1は + Noun2が with Relative Clauseを + Verb**”**.

(W2) Try to make your dialogue between Person A&B like “☆Basic Example Dialogue”. In your dialogue, please try to use this time grammar topic **“**Noun1は + Noun2が with Relative Clauseを + Verb**”** appropriately. Millions of mistakes are necessary for improvement, so you do not have to hesitate.

N5 level learner, if you have difficulty to write Dialogue style sentence, it is OK to write single sentences with grammar topic and also OK to use only Hiragana. (It is easy-to-read to make space between word and word).

(W3) Post and share your dialogues in 48 hours from posting this thread.

**“Procedure 2 for Intermediate Level”**

(W4) Like below “☆Advanced Example Dialogue”, try to use this time Grammar topic **“**Noun1は + Noun2が with Relative Clauseを + Verb**”** **at least once** and make your original Dialogue. In other words, if you just use the topic at least once, you do not have to use the topic anymore and you can make your dialogue freely. It is also OK to add more Person A&B part to make longer Dialogue.

(W5) Post your Dialogue in 48 hours from posting this thread.

​

**③Example Dialogues**

I cited below \[\*1\] sentence and translation from Page 140 in Minna No Nihongo Second Edition Elementary Japanese 1 Translation & Grammar Notes – English. To make dialogue structure, based on \[\*1\] sentence, I wrote \[\*2\] Question sentence as Person A’s line. I added “\[ \] My grammar interpretation”.

​

**“☆Basic Example Dialogue”**

A: Bさんは なにを かいましたか。 \[\*2\]

bsan wa nanio kaimashitaka。

What did you buy, Bsan?

B: ミラーさんが すんでいた  うちを  かいました。 \[\*1\]

miraasanga sundeita uchi wo kaimashita。

I bought the house where Mr. Miller used to live. \[\*1\]

\[Full sentence is…

わたし(Noun1)は ミラーさん(Noun2)が すんでいた うちを かいました。

すんで(Teform)いました becomes すんで(Te) いた(Plain Style, Past Affirmative)as Relative Clause. We can use the pattern “Noun1 は + Noun2が with Relative Clauseを + Verb”. The subject of whole sentence is わたし that has particle は and わたしは corresponds to かいました that is verb of whole sentence.

In side of Relative Clause, the subject is “ミラーさん=Noun2” that has particle が. To distinguish these Subjects, I think we tend to use が particle for a subject inside of Relative Clause.\]

​

**“☆Advanced Example”**

A: チンさんは何を飲んでいるんですか。

B: チンさんは ベンさんが 入れた お茶を 飲んでいますよ。

ベンさんは日本茶が好きで、お茶を入れるのも凄く上手いんですよ。

よく、日本のお茶の名産地(めいさんち)に出かけて、お茶をお土産に買ってきてくれますよ。

以前、佐賀県(さがけん)の嬉野(うれしの)のお茶をいれてくれて、凄く美味しかったです。

A: へー、いいですね。今度私も、ベンさんに頼(たの)んでみます。

So, like this, if you add \[ \] explanation and English translation, it will be helpful to understand and check your sentences more accurately.
