Lesson 6 Grammar

1. N を V (transitive)
を is used to indicate the direct object of a transitive verb.
ジュースを 飲みます。 I drink the juice.
[Note] を and お are pronounced the same. The former is used only in writing the particle.
 2.N を します
The words used as the objects of the verb します cover a fairly wide range. します means that the
action denoted by the noun is performed. Some examples are shown below.
•To “play” sports or games
サッカーを します。 Play football
•To “hold” gatherings
会議を します。    Hold a meeting
•To “do” something
宿題を します。   Do homework
 3. 何を しますか
This is a question to ask what someone does.
月曜日 何を しますか。        What will you do on Monday?
… 東京へ いきます。            … I’ll go to Tokyo.
きのう 何を しましたか。    What did you do yesterday?
… サッカーを しました。     … I played football.
[Note] You can make a word expressing time the topic by adding は.
月曜日は 何を しますか。    On Monday what will you do?
… 京都へ 行きます。            … I’ll go to Kyoto.
 4. なん and なに
Both なん and なに mean “what”.
a) なん is used in the following cases.
* When it precedes a word whose first mora is either in the た, だ, な
それは何ですか。 What is that?
何の本ですか。 What is the book about?
寝るまえに、何と言いますか？
What do you say before going to bed? (L.21)
* When it is followed by a counter suffix or the like.
テレサちゃんは 何歳 (なんさい)ですか。
How old is Teresa?
b) なに is used in all other cases.
何を買いますか。 What will you buy?
 5. N (place) で V
When added after a noun denoting a place, で indicates the place where an action occurs.
駅で 新聞を買います。    I buy the newspaper at the station.
  6. V ません
When you want to invite someone to do something, this expression is used.
いっしょに 京都へ 行きませんか。
… ええ、いいですね。
Lesson 6 Grammar
Won’t you come to Kyoto with us?
… That’s a nice ideal.
  7. V ましょう
This expression is used when a speaker is positively inviting the listener to do something with the
speaker. It is also used when responding positively to an invitation.
ちょっと休みましょう。                                       Let’s have a break.
いっしょに ひるごはんを たべませんか。        Won’t you have lunch with me?
… ええ、食べましょう。                                      … Yes, let’s go and eat.
[Note] An invitation using V ません shows more consideration to the listener’s will than that using V
ましょう.
  8. お…
You learned in Lesson 3 that the prefix お is attached to words regarding the listener or the person
being referred to show respect (e.g., [お] くに country).
お is also attached to various other words when the speaker is speaking politely (eg., [お] さけ
alcohol, [お] はなみ cherry-blossom viewing).
There are some words that are usually used with お without meaning respect or politeness (おちゃ
tea, おかね money).
