Exercise 1
Step 1
1 of 2
The sentence that we are translating uses a verb, so we will need to construct the sentence in the fashion that we learned in Chapter 3. We begin by marking ourself with the topic marker ‘は,’ and then we introduce the pseudo-object of the sentence (the ‘kind person’). The verb ‘会う(あう)’ or ‘to meet,’ is slightly unusual in that we mark the ‘object’ of the meeting with the particle ‘に’ or ‘と’ instead of the expected object marker ‘を.’ We finish by conjugating the verb into the past tense, and we arrive at this answer:
私は優しい人に会いました。
わたしはやさしい人にあいました。

The sentence that we are translating uses a verb, so we will need to construct the sentence in the fashion that we learned in Chapter 3. We begin by marking ourself with the topic marker ‘は,’ and then we introduce the object of the sentence, marked with the object marker ‘を.’ Though we have not yet learned an adjective for the word ‘inexpensive,’ we have learned how to negatively conjugate the Japanese word for ‘expensive,’ which we will do here. We finish by conjugating the verb into the past tense, and we arrive at this answer:
私は高くない切符を買いました。
わたしはたかくないきっぷをかいました。

Exercise 3
Step 1
1 of 2
The sentence that we are translating uses a verb, so we will need to construct the sentence in the fashion that we learned in Chapter 3. We begin by introducing the time word, in this case ‘last week,’ which does not require a particle as it refers to a contextually dependent timeframe. We then mark ourself with the topic particle ‘は,’ after which we introduce the object of the sentence, marked with the object marker ‘を.’ We finish by conjugating the verb into the past tense, and we arrive at this answer:
先週、私は面白い本を読みました。
せんしゅう、わたしはおもしろい本をよみました。
