わたし は フランス で いきます。

So I left off with the the ability to find the root for a few verbs and how to conjugate them in their present forms. How about to put them in a sentence? That is what this post is for. The parts that are needed to make the sentences with verbs are particles. These particles differ in the verbs that are being used.

Lets get started!

で is the particle that indicates where the the event is taking place described by the verb like so:

うち　で　にほんご　を　べんきょうします。
This is translated to At my house, I study japanese


わたし　は　きさてん　で　いきます。
I will go to a coffee shop.


に is a particle with two meanings that I know of at the moment. 1) describing the goal as which things are going and 2) noting the time at which things take place
1)
わたし　は　うち　に　かえります。
わたし　は　かっこう　に　いきません。


2)
わたし　は　いちじ　に　うち　で　かえります。
じゅうにじ　に　にほんご　を　べんきょうします。
きゅうじ　に　ばんごはん　を　たべます。


に is very useful to describe time and what to do.


Finally we have the most used particle of all: を (which is pronounced as "o")
This particle denounces the direct object of which the verb of the sentence is affecting. 
テレビ　を　みます。
にく　を　たべます。
にほんご　を　べんきょうします。


So that concludes the particles. Now for the formula of a sentence...


I'm going to list out the formulas for different cases.


1) X は Y です


Person         は         Time      に             Place      で           Direct Object    を        Verb
2)マルクさん　は　じゅうじ　に　がっこう   　で　　　　  ええご　を　　　べんきょうします。　
Mark studies english language at 9 oclock at school.


Now I know that I have gone over how to form basic sentences with verbs along with the particles involved. 




We can practice making sentences and filing in the correct particles with the selected words:
1) メーアリさん　ほん　きさてん　さんじ　よみます
2) フランクさん　うち　はちじはん　いきます
3) ロバト　スウジ     とかあさん　なまえ　　　


I'm sorry that I haven't posted much vocabulary recently. Here's a lot to make up for it:
Britain - イギリス
Australia　オーストラリア
Korea　かんこく
France　フランス
China　ちゅごく
science　かがく
computer　コンピューター
politics　せいじ
doctor　いしゃ
high school student　こうこうせい
graduate student　だいがくいんせい
college student　だいがくせい
this one　これ
that one　それ
which one　どれ
this　この
that　その
where　どこ
who　だれ
delicious　おいしい
meat　にく
vegetabl　やさい
fish　さかな
menu　メニュー
cafe きっさてん
library としょかん


I still have yet to figure out how to get a subsite to make specifically for vocabulary so that I wouldn't have to do this in each post...


Anyways, じゃまた

なつやすみ！

おはようございます！わたし　は　ガブリエル　です。それ　は　なつやすみ　です。わたし　は　フランス　で　いきました。

This is what I am aiming to teach in three posts or less.
Translation: Good morning! I am Gabriel. It's summer vacation. I left for France.

Starting off with what was already taught, WE can say simple phrases with time, statements, and simple questions.

So how about saying phrases with actual verbs? That is what I am aiming to teach in this post and the future posts.
Today I will start off with the first definition of verbs.
There are three types of verbs: -ru verbs, -u verbs, and then irregular verbs.
The difference between the verbs is how they end. Here is a list on some verbs to start off with:

〜る	〜う	Irregular Verbs
おきる (to get up)	いく(to go)	べんきょうする (to study)
たべる (to eat)	かえる (to return)	する (to do)
ねる (to sleep)	きく (to listen; to hear)	くる (to come (destination, use に,へ)
みる (to see)	のむ (to drink)

So these are called forms. The forms listed here are called dictionary forms. They are rarely ever seen in spoken にほんご because they are solely to be used when searching for the verbs in the dictionary. The spoken and written forms that I know of are present and past (both negative and positive).

Let's get cracking!
Today I will go over how to conjugate in the present form.
〜う verbs are very simple: All that is done is take the last syllable and shift it to the 〜い form and then add ます at the end to show it is positive present.

Example:
いく (to go) - く + き + ます = いきます (going)
Used in a sentence: わたし　は　フランス　で　いきます。

*Whenever you use a verb, you will not use です to end the sentence as the verb is ending the statement

〜る verbs are similar in what we do with 〜う verbs except a minor change. The thing we change is take out the 〜る and add ます.

Example:
たべる (to eat) - る + ます = たべます　(eating)

Irregular verbs are similar in who to take the root.
They are the exceptions as their dictionary forms look the same to 〜る verbs. They are only exceptions.
What needs to happen is this:
take the る out and change the last syllable to the 〜い form of the verb and add ます

Example:
べんきょうする - る - す + し + ます = べんきょうします (studying)

So this concludes how to find the root of the verbs in the three categories and conjugate them into the present affirmitive.

Now for the present negative.
All you have to do is take the present affirmative and replace ます with ません like so:
いきます - ます + ません = いきません

There is a nother post being prepared on how to use verbs in sentences but for now I'll leave with a base on sentence forming with verbs. Till next time!
