Hello! I am not sure this is just me, but isn't the verb in this grammar piont suppose to be in the volitional form? As in こう, そう, べよう etc. It seems to me that the construction you gave is an error. Or perhasp, the way shown in the construction is a variation to say "try". Yet again I may have just misunderstood, I don't know. Just thought I would bring it up. :)

No, not the volitional - the definition form + よう :)

Salutations.

On the N4 Grammar quiz, we have this sentence: 「しはえようにしなさい!」.

Is the bolded part correct? The answer is based on the "Try to 'A'." grammar and the rule require the use of the dictionary form; that being the case, would 「えるよう」be the proper form?

I am not sure of what the proper grammar is, so I decided against sending a proposed correction.

Thank you for your time.

I'll check it out for you! Just as an FYI - you can more easily report these by tapping the ? button at the top, then the "report quiz error" :)

Is it grammatically correct to follow a する verb with ようにする? I want to make sure it doesn't sound repetitive.

Yes, there is no such restriction. For example: するようにする。 = Try to study every day.

Though, notice that in more polite speech it becomes: するようにします。

What makes this different from 「ようとする」?

It's very confusing how both of them are "try to"... but somehow I don't get the nuance behind them

With ようにする you are trying to do X, or making sure to do X.(Verb is in dictionary form)

With [V-よう]とする you were about to try to do X, but didn't do X for some reason (e.g. because you were interrupted) (Verb is in volitional form.)

I was having a streak of incorrect answer before, but now I could distinguish the difference between them!

That was a very concise explanation, thank you so much!
