Oh, and while I was repeating some old stuff, I noticed that I had a couple of mistakes in exercise 21 that slipped past all our eyes
! I wrote:
3. Kinoo kare wa tegami o
katte yuubinkyooku ni iku.
4. Kare wa kissaten de shimbun o
nonde keekii o taberu.
when it should've been:
3. Kinoo kare wa tegami o
kaite yuubinkyooku ni iku.
4. Kare wa kissaten de shimbun o
yonde keekii o taberu.
Now I'm not sure wether I should go back and edit my earlier answers..? Maybe I'll just leave it like this, and hope others will notice these corrections while they're correcting their own exercises.
Now about the questions I said I have. Well, the first one concerns lesson 10, and the joining of sentences using the -te ending in verbs. Does it make any difference weather the second verb is past or present tense? For example "Watashi wa ha o migaite beddo ni iku" means "I brushed my teeth and went to bed". But "iku" is present tense, right? Then in exercise 20, the first sentence goes like this: "Watashi wa nomiya itte biiru nonda", which means "I went to the bar and drank beer". Here, "nonda" is past tense. So my question is, how does one know weather one should use past or present tense in the second verb
?
My second question is shorter (don't look so relieved!). In lesson 16, there is this sentence "Kaimono shite itadakimasen ka?" (Would you be kind enough to do the shopping?). Why is there no "o" after kaimono? Is this an exception, or was it perhaps left out by mistake? I know it's just a detail, but it started nagging at me...
Ok, I'll end this ridiculously long post now. Thanks in advance
