Answers and Explanations
- から ... までExplanation:
「〜から 〜まで」 (kara ... made) means 'from ~ to ~'. It is used to indicate a range, typically for time or place. Usage: [Starting Point] から [Ending Point] まで.
- のExplanation:
「の」 (no) after a verb in its plain form nominalizes the verb, turning the verb phrase into a noun phrase. It means 'the act of doing [verb]'. Here, '勉強するの (benkyou suruno)' means 'the act of studying'. Usage: [Verb (plain form)] + の.
- でExplanation:
The particle 「で」 (de) marks the location where an action takes place. In this sentence, the action 「勉強します (benkyoushimasu)」 (to study) happens at 「図書館 (toshokan)」 (the library). Usage: [Place] で [Action Verb].
- みたExplanation:
The plain past tense (た-form) of a る-verb (ichidan verb) is made by changing the final る (ru) to た (ta). 「見る (miru)」 (miru - to see/watch) becomes 「見た (mita)」 (mita - saw/watched). This form is used in casual speech. Usage: [る-Verb stem] + た.
- 高いExplanation:
い-adjectives directly modify nouns without any particle in between. 「高い (takai)」 (takai) is an い-adjective meaning 'expensive', and it directly describes 「本 (hon)」 (book). Usage: [い-adjective (dictionary form)] + [Noun].
- もらいましたExplanation:
「もらう」 (morau) means 'to receive' or 'to get'. The speaker (or speaker's in-group) is the receiver. Here, the speaker (私) receives from a friend. Usage: [Receiver] は [Giver] に/から [Object] を もらう.
- けっこうExplanation:
「けっこうです」 (kekkou desu) can mean 'No, thank you,' 'That's enough,' or 'I'm fine.' It's a polite way to decline an offer. It can also mean 'quite' or 'fairly' when used as an adverb (e.g., けっこうおいしい - quite delicious). Usage: (In refusal) けっこうです.
- のほうがExplanation:
「A より B のほうが ～」 (A yori B no hou ga ~) is a pattern for comparison, meaning 'B is more ~ than A'. 「のほうが」 (no hou ga) marks the item that is preferred or has more of a certain quality. Usage: [Item A] より [Item B] のほうが [Adjective/Predicate].
- まだExplanation:
「まだ」 (mada) means 'still' or 'not yet'. When used with a negative verb form (like 〜ていません or 〜ません), it means 'not yet'. Usage: まだ [Verb-negative].
- だろうExplanation:
「だろう」 (darou) is the plain/casual form of 「でしょう」 (deshou). It expresses probability or conjecture ('probably ~', 'I guess ~'). It can also be used to seek confirmation informally when said with a rising intonation (like '..., right?'). Usage: [Plain form verb/adjective / Noun] + だろう.
