60% of Japanese Grammar follows This Pattern【ている、ていく、てくる、ては、ても】

Published 2024-06-25
60% of Japanese grammar can be immediately skipped if you understand the magic of the て form. This video highlights how extremely common Japanese grammar points like ている、ていく、てくる、ては、and ても all essentially follow the same pattern and are an extension of the te-form's base function.

Forget what the textbooks and JLPT grammar sites tell you about how there are hundreds of complicated grammar rules that you have to remember. Once you understand the true ability of the て form, you'll see that Japanese grammar is much more predictable.

This video will guide you through the step-by-step process of mastering these so called grammar points, with clear explanations and examples. You will discover how knowing the true value of the て form unlocks a huge portion of Japanese grammar, making it easier to form sentences and understand the language.

By the end of this video, you'll be amazed at how much more sense Japanese grammar makes.

  • Thank you for carrying the legacy of Cure Dolly sensei. She left enormous shoes to fill, but you doing a spectacular job filling them.
  • @DemanaJaire
    I love these Cure Dolly-like explanations. 😭 I hate how westerners force Indo-European grammar onto Japanese and make it look so complicated and illogical, when it's nothing like that. Japanese grammar is extremely logical and easy. What usually throws us off is the expression strategy which in Japanese can be completely different than what we're used ot.
  • @rose-nk9xm
    this video explained て-form better than my Japanese teacher LMAO
  • @oh-noe
    The way you explain stuff just makes it work in my brain. This method is so much more easier to understand than forcing english meanings on them! Thank you for making these videos
  • @tiglionabbit
    TIL でも is just で (the て form of です) and も (as in "also"). Mind blown.
  • @user-re9zk4zy5d
    Learning Japanese, it blows my mind just how complicated English actually and how 80% of Americans don’t even think much about it, thanks for your videos!
  • @coolbrotherf127

  • @aidanclark8589
    I was just rewatching some of your other videos wondering when this would be released, thank you for continuing in the footsteps of Cure Dolly sensei to teach us Japanese in its natural form. Your videos along with her’s make it so much easier to understand the structure and grammar of Japanese
  • @shiro3704
