There ａｐｐｅａｒ to be some ommisions in the "construction" section...

Isn't it true that you can replace と with って?

Studying this as it's own form in Genki 2　と思っています。 Should it have it's own grammar section or is it lumped in with these?

と思っています
Genki says "We use the volitional + と思っています to talk about our determinations"

So "I've decided to ____" or "I'm going to ____"

Genki teaches it separately, I think because it uses the volitional form and not simple form.

I could see an argument for either way, really. I was just curious if it would be a different grammar point.

Hmm. And somehow I've written a sentence for that one and didn't realize it was up there as well. Thanks for the reply.

I've got a questions about using "だ" in front of "と". 例： 綺麗だと思う。 大きいと思う。 いいと思う。 So, when I should put a "だ" in front of?

This looks to me like the citational と. But direct or indirect quotation cannot only be spoken but also written down. I found sentences like [b]XY[color=red]と[/color]記されている。[/b]/[b]XY[color=red]と[/color]書いてある。[/b] for "It is written that XY." Care to add? :-[ -------------------------- In DBJG this category also includes phonomimes -e.g. バタバタと走る-, phenomimes -e.g. しっかりとにぎる- and psychomimes -e.g. むっつりと座っている-. Do those appear somewhere in the grammar library?
