掲示板 Forums - しつもん：げんき

How are these answers looking? I was answering questions from the Genki 1 textbook.

1．はい、日本のレストランがあります。たべものはおいしい。(Is there a Japanese restaurant in your town?)

２．はい、家に猫がいます。(Do you have a cat at home?)

３．学校にクラブがあります。(What is there at your school?)

４．はい、日本人の学生がいます。(Are there Japanese students at your school?)

５．デパートにふくとゲームがあります。(What is there at the department store?)

６．一人で勉強します。/勉強しています　(Who is in the classroom?)

７．どうぶつがたくさんいます。ライオンがいます。(What animals are there at the zoo?)

８．私の家にお茶のコレクションがあります。(What do you have at home/in your house?)

９．スコットランドしゅしんです。しろがあります。(What country are you from? What is there in your country?)

こんばんは！

I have made a couple of changes above ☺️ Thanks for your help.

For question 8, what word could I use? I do in fact have a tea collection at home - I keep it in my kitchen cupboard. Is there a better way of wording that to make get my point across clearly?

I use Genki to self-study at home. Does that sentence work for question 6?

私はきょうしつに勉強がいます。

ありがとうございます🙂👍

Ah, yes, you're right! I fixed the silly mistake :)

I haven't learnt how to use や in a list yet - how does that work?

I think the Genki writers wanted an answer like this: (does it work?)

きょうしつに先生がいます。学生もがいます。

How about these?

私は一人できょうしつを勉強しています。

私はきょうしつに一人でいます。

I'm finding the Genki book is asking questions and expecting answers that they haven't covered in the content yet, or maybe I'm overcomplicating the answers they want.

Ah, good to know! I'm on chapter 4 - I'll get there 💪 Renshuu will cover や in it's material too so I can start using it.

Thanks for your help - I'll go copy down my sentences again with the corrections 👍☺️ So helpful to have this forum to cover for the lack of a teacher and catch bad habits!
