Grammar Rules
Rule 1: Adjectives for Description
Use i-adjectives (い-adjectives) and na-adjectives (な-adjectives) to describe nouns. Na-adjectives require な before nouns. Common housing adjectives: きれいな (clean/tidy), しずかな (quiet), ひろい (spacious), せまい (cramped).
Rule 2: Existence Verbs: ある and いる
ある is used for inanimate objects (things), いる is used for animate beings (people, animals). Use が to mark what exists and に to mark where it exists.
Rule 3: Verb Conjugation: ~て下さい
Used to make polite requests. The て-form of the verb plus 下さい means 'please do ~'. For ru-verbs: remove る add て. For u-verbs: change final u-sound to te-form.
Rule 4: Describing with ~があります
Used to describe what features or things exist in a place. Similar to 'There is/are ~' in English.
