Answers and Explanations
- とExplanation:
「と」 (to) is used to indicate 'with whom' an action is performed. 「家族 (kazoku)と」 means 'with family'. Usage: [Companion] と (一緒に) [Verb].
- でしょう?Explanation:
「〜でしょう?」 (deshou?) with a rising intonation is used to seek confirmation or agreement about something the speaker thinks is probably true. It's softer than a direct question. Usage: [Verb (plain form) / Adjective / Noun] + でしょう?
- どちらがExplanation:
The pattern 「[Noun A] と [Noun B] と どちらが [Adjective] ですか」 is used to ask for a comparison between two items. 「どちら」 (dochira) means 'which (of the two)'. Usage: [Noun A] と [Noun B] と どちらが [Predicate]?
- ましょうかExplanation:
「〜ましょうか」 (mashou ka) is used to offer help or make a suggestion. It means 'Shall I...?' or 'Shall we...?'. It is formed by adding 「ましょうか」 to the verb stem. Usage: [Verb Stem] + ましょうか.
- そのExplanation:
「その」 (sono) means 'that' and modifies a noun that follows it. It indicates something near the listener or something previously mentioned that is closer to the listener's context. Usage: その [Noun].
- そこExplanation:
「そこ」 (soko) means 'there', indicating a place near the listener or a place that was just mentioned or is contextually understood to be near the listener. Usage: そこ を [Verb of movement/action].
- それExplanation:
「それ」 (sore) means 'that'. It is used by the listener (B) to refer to something close to the speaker (A) or something the speaker has just mentioned or is holding. A says 'これ' (this, near A), so B refers to it as 'それ' (that, near A/just mentioned by A).
- に行きましたExplanation:
To express going somewhere for a purpose, you can use [Place] へ/に [Verb Stem] に 行きます (ikimasu)/来ます/帰ります. Here, 「借りに (karini)」 (to borrow) is the purpose for going to the library. Usage: [Place] へ/に [Verb Stem of purpose] に [Motion verb].
- でどれがいちばんExplanation:
The pattern 「[Group/Category] の中で (nonakade) どれ/何/だれ が いちばん [Adjective] ですか」 asks 'Among [Group/Category], which/what/who is the most [Adjective]?'. 「いちばん」 (ichiban) means 'the most'. Usage: [Category] の中で [Question word] が いちばん [Adjective] ですか.
- かかなくてはなりませんExplanation:
「〜なくてはなりません」 (nakute wa narimasen) expresses strong obligation or necessity ('must do', 'have to do'). It is formed by taking the ない-form of the verb, changing ない to なくては, and adding なりません. Usage: [Verb (ない-form) without ない] + なくてはなりません.
