Answers and Explanations
- つけてありますExplanation:
「〜てあります」 (te arimasu) is used with a transitive verb (like 付ける - tsukeru, to turn on) to indicate a state resulting from an intentional action. '電気がつけてあります' (denki ga tsukete arimasu) means the light is on because someone intentionally turned it on, and it remains in that state. 「ついています」 (tsuite imasu) would use the intransitive verb 付く (tsuku) and describe the state without the same emphasis on the prior intentional action.
- にはExplanation:
「には」 (ni wa) highlights the noun it follows (marked by に as an indirect object, target, etc.) as the topic of the sentence, often for contrast or emphasis. Here, 「[彼]{かれ}には」 singles out 'him' as the person to whom the story has not yet been told.
- はずがありませんExplanation:
「〜はずがない」 (hazu ga nai) or its polite form 「〜はずがありません」 (hazu ga arimasen) indicates that the speaker believes something is highly unlikely or impossible.
- そういうExplanation:
「そういう」 (sou iu) means 'such' or 'that kind of', modifying a noun. It refers to a type or category previously understood or implied. The speaker is indicating a dislike for a particular genre or style of movie. Construction: そういう + Noun.
- でExplanation:
The particle 「で」 is used to indicate the material or ingredients something is made from, especially when the original material's form is still recognizable. 「から」 is used when the material undergoes a significant transformation. While both can be used for food, 「で」 is very common and correct here to indicate rice as the raw material. Construction: Material (Noun) + で + 作ります.
- の一つですExplanation:
「～の一つだ」 (no hitotsu da) or its polite form 「～の一つです」 (no hitotsu desu) means 'is one of ~'. It indicates that the item being discussed is a single member of a larger set. Here, 'my favorite books' is the set. Construction: [Category/Group] の一つだ/です.
- そんなにExplanation:
「そんなに」 (sonna ni) means 'so much' or 'to that degree'. It qualifies the extent or amount of something. In this sentence, it refers to a large quantity of food that the speaker cannot consume.
- ございますかExplanation:
「ございますか」 (gozaimasu ka) is the polite interrogative form of 「ありますか」 (arimasu ka). It is used to ask about the existence or location of something in a formal or polite manner.
- ように なりましたExplanation:
「ように なる」 (you ni naru) expresses a change in ability or state over time. 「わかるように なりました」 means 'became able to understand'. The sentence describes a gradual change in the speaker's ability to understand Japanese. Pattern: Verb (dictionary form or potential form) + ように なる.
- 起きExplanation:
The grammar 「～なくてもいいです」 (nakutemo ii desu) means 'you don't have to do X' or 'it's okay not to do X'. It is formed by taking the verb's ない-form, removing the final い, and adding くてもいいです. The verb 起きる (okiru, to wake up) is a Group 2 (る-verb). Its ない-form is 起きない (okinai). Removing the final い gives 起き (oki). Thus, the sentence becomes 「明日は 早く 起きなくてもいいです」.
