Exercise 1

The question is asking us if Takeshi wrote letters on Friday. From the picture, we can see that he listened to music on Friday. Thus, we answer in the negative. We begin by saying no, as this is a direct question. For the sake of practice, we will reiterate the information presented by the question, even though a more naturalistic and conversational answer could omit the subject and time word. We will conclude our response with a new sentence that details what Takeshi actually was doing. We arrive at this sentence:

Many new verbs can be created by adding βγγβ after a noun and the particle βγ.β Sometimes these verbs omit βγ,β as in the case of βεεΌ·γγ/γΉγγγγγγ,β which derives from the noun for βstudy,β βγΉγγγγ.β Though not always grammatically correct, this can be a very helpful construction to explain concepts for which you have not yet learned the words.
The question is asking us where Takeshi worked his part time job on Saturday. From the picture, we can see that Takeshi worked at his part time job on Saturday. For the sake of practice, we will reiterate the information presented by the question, even though a more naturalistic and conversational answer could omit the subject and time word.

The question is asking us what Takeshi did on Sunday. From the picture and inferences from the blanks that we are to fill in, we can see that Takeshi saw a movie with Mary on Sunday. For the sake of practice, we will reiterate the information presented by the question, even though a more naturalistic and conversational answer could omit the subject and time word.

Exercise 5
Step 1

Commas and most other punctuation marks were introduced to Japanese through Western, English-language literature. Thus, the rules for Japanese punctuation are very similar to English. The Japanese comma has fewer rules governing its usage than does the English one; it can be used pretty much anywhere to add a break or emphasis and is often found after the subject marker βγ―β or after time words that are unmarked with a particle.
The question is asking us what we did on the weekend. (Note that, as we learned in Chapter 3, general time words like βι±ζ«/γγ γγΎγ€β do not require the particle βγ«.β) We can answer whatever we like here. For the sake of practice, we will reiterate the information presented by the question, even though a more naturalistic and conversational answer could omit the subject and time word. We will also furnish the answer with as much detail as reasonably possible. We arrive at this sentence:
η§γ―γι±ζ«γ ε³ζΈι€¨γ§ειγ¨ζ¬γθͺγΏγΎγγγ
γγγγ―γγγ γγΎγ€γγ¨γγγγγ§γ¨γγ γ‘γ¨γ»γγγγΏγΎγγγ
