Not sure if I did the second half correctly to express what I wanted to say. But this covers some N5 grammar I’m still not the best at.

多おおいプレゼント買ってもいいですか、手作てづくりをした方ほうがいい?

Translation

Is it ok to buy many presents, or is handmade better?

I thought of one earlier, but turned out to be false, but I’m too tired now to come up with another sentence that’s not really short…

毎週金曜日プブで昼ごはんを食べるけど今日行きませんでした

Summary

Every Friday we eat lunch at the pub, but today we didn’t go.

Question: If you used 食べる before, shouldn’t you use 行かなかった?

Or you basically mean 食べる here to refer to present tense instead of being casual? So in this case both 行かなかった (casual) and 行きませんでした (formal/polite) are correct?

Good question… I’d actually edited my post just after I wrote it to switch from 食べて to 食べる so I’m not really sure what is correct, as with the ~て form didn’t have to worry about casual/polite >_<

Today’s sentence:

今夜こんや小学生しょうがくせい向むけマンガの第一章だいいっしょうを読よんだ。面白おもしろくて、たくさん笑わらった。:joy:

Summary

Tonight I read the first chapter of a manga aimed at elementary school students. It was funny and I laughed a lot.

I’m just a beginner myself, and your sentence made me wonder about a few things. Chances are that I am wrong, though :slight_smile:

Shouldn’t that be 八時に ?

To me this sounds a bit like the people are full…?! (I’ve heard いっぱい be used to mean “have eaten enough”, and が points to the subject, i.e. the people)
I wonder whether この道に人が多いです might actually sound more like what you want to express?

Thanks for any insights!

Thanks. I wasn’t sure myself about my second sentence at that time.

息むす子こは宿しゅく題だいをした時とき「お化け物ばけものを見みた」と言いっていた。

英語

When my son did his homework, “I saw a ghost”, he said.

I don’t know how Japanese use double quotes. So please correct me if I’m wrong.

Instead of the double quotes " ", they tend to use 「 」 so yours would be 「 お化け物を見みた」と言っていた for example. You can also use [ and ] instead. In most Japanese IME’s 「 and 」are what are typed if you press the keys for [ and ]

Today’s sentence:

武士ぶしに成なりたいけど私は剣術けんじゅつが下手へたです。その代かわりに文法ぶんぽうと戦たたかいます。

You can’t use things like と、とか、or や after an adjective.
You could say 寒くて “it’s cold AND” or 寒いし “it’s cold ( as one reason)” though.

プレゼントを作くりに行くが、少し時間だけがあります.

作る stem is a Godan Verb so it’s stem is 作り
だけ always goes after “Only A”-> Aだけ.

Thanks! I had a feeling it was off, and did see ~くて used with an adjective some time after writing that.

Anyway, today’s sentence:

クリスマス前に髪カットをした方がいい

Oh cool topic, I’ll give it try too (since I’ve been meaning to do it on my own anyway but not finding the motivation) (and I’m far more advanced in comprehension than in actually making sentences soooo). Here it comes !

今日は公園に楽しんだから、また明日も行こう。

English

Since we had fun at the park today, let’s go again tomorrow.

Thanks for this. I wasn’t sure about 作り. Need to read up on these Godan Verbs a bit more to better understand.
Ah now I see. @Pushindawood, I think this needs to be a bit more clear in your Lesson 12, that it’s only える and いる with exceptions like する and くる. I found this wiki very straight forward explaining this simply and short.

So not to sound negative, but I gotta practice my new negatives. So I’m just gonna add to @Jul3’s sentence :wink:

髪かみカットをしない。わたしはサンタクロースを似にられます。

Translation

I don’t cut my hair. I want to look like Santa Claus.

PS: If I continue like this I’m gonna be done with N4 in parallel with N5. I always seem to pick sentences which need some N4 grammar :stuck_out_tongue:
