Exercise 1
Step 1
1 of 3
We will complete the intentions with the ‘~つもりだ’ construction. Remember that ‘~つもりだ’ can only grammatically come after a verbal short form; if you want to make the sentence more polite, you simply conjugate ‘だ’ into ‘です.’
Step 2
2 of 3
There are several other ways in Japanese to express one’s intention, one of which uses an entirely different verbal conjugation. ‘~つもりだ’ is completely serviceable, but it can be somewhat blunt, forward, or overly straight forward. It is potentially less appropriate to use it to refer to someone else’s intentions, and more so, it would be inappropriate to use in place of ‘one should.’ This would roughly be the English equivalent of saying, ‘you will go to the store’ as a command.
