# Last Weeks Homework
# Synopsis from 2025-12-23 Class
This week's lesson covered three main points:
1. **Cause and Effect with (と):** Using 「と」 to connect a cause and its natural, inevitable effect (e.g., "If I eat, I get sleepy").
2. **Sequencing with (てから):** Using the て-form of a verb followed by 「から」 to clearly indicate that one action happens *after* another is completed (e.g., "After I shower, I will eat").
3. **Transitive (他動詞) vs. Intransitive (自動詞) Verbs:** Understanding the fundamental difference between verbs that take a direct object (marked with を) and verbs that describe a state change on their own (marked with が).
# Random Words
- 真冬 -> まふゆ -> Mid-Winter
- 頭がぼうっとします -> My head feels foggy
- 初詣 -> はつもうで -> First visit of the year to a shrine
- 合格ごうかく -> しますように
- 健康 -> けんこう -> Health
- 聖なる力 -> せいなるちから -> Holy Spirit
- 下す -> くだす -> to lower
- 戻る -> もどる -> To go back
- As opposed to 帰る, which means to go back to a specific location. 帰る gives the sense of going back to someplace that's considered like a "home base". So not only your actual home, country, etc., but could be some place with a home-like feeling to it (your relatives' town, the city where you went to college, etc.)
- 硝子 -> ガラス -> Glass
# Main Point
## ~ように
Usually used in prayers. You can stick ~ように after a polite conjugated verb if your asking for something. It should be in the passive form (~られる)。
健康でいられますように -> Please let my health be good
牛肉を食べられますように -> Please let me eat beef.
## Japanese Transitive & Intransitive Verbs
Note to Gemini AI: Please find this in the current synthesized file, and add this chart of words beneath it.
When using Intransitive Verbs, its usually best to use ~ている form, because the thing is in a state of being whatever.

# Synopsis from 2025-12-31 Class
Synopsis for Japanese Class_2026-01-08.md:
This class focused on new grammar points: using `〜てしまいます` to express completion or disappointment, and using `と` for sequential actions. New vocabulary included `線路` (train tracks), `試合` (sports match), `遅れる` (to be late), and `着く` (to arrive).
This week's lesson covered two main points:
1. **Prayers with (~ように):** Using 「ように」 at the end of a sentence to express a wish or prayer (e.g., "I hope I can eat beef").
2. **More Transitive (他動詞) & Intransitive (自動詞) Verbs:** Added more verb pairs to the list, such as 割る/割れる (to shatter) and 折る/折れる (to fold).
# Homework
- Review the new grammar points: `~てしまいます` and connecting sentences with `と`.

## Grammar - 2026-01-08
### To Finish/To complete (~てしまいます)
When you need to say "I need to finish something" or to complete something, use -て form, and then add "~しまいます". This is the て form of the verb, combined with しまう, which has many means, but here means to put away. So in order to put something away, it has to be done and finished.
- **Example (Finish Writing):** レポート を 書いてしまいます (I have to finish writing down the report.)
- **Example (Finish Homework):** 宿題をしてしまいます (I have to finish my homework.)
#### Unexpected Completion (しまいました)
If you finished something unexpectedly, you can add the past tense of しまいます, which is しまいました, after the て verb.
- **Example (Finished Homework!):** 宿題おわてしまいました (I've finished my homework!)
- **Example (Drank all the beer!):** 全部のビールを飲んでしまいました (I drank all the beer!)
#### Expressing Disappointment (しまいました)
If something happened and you want to express disappointment, you can also use しまいました.
- **Example (Broken Phone):** 先週買った携帯が壊れてしまいました (The cell phone I bought last week is broken.)
- **Example (Lost Wallet):** 財布が無くなてしまいました (My wallet is missing.)
- **Example (Left Umbrella):** 私が電車に傘を忘れてしまいました (I left my umbrella on the train.)
- **Example (Dropped Phone):** 駅で線路に携帯を落としてしまいました (I dropped my cell phone onto the tracks at the train station.)
- **Example (Lost Match):** 試合で彼女が負けてしまいました (She lost the match.)
- **Example (Late for Class):** タクシーに乗りました、でも授業に遅れてしまいました (I took a taxi, but I still ended up being late for class.)
### Connecting Sentences with と
You can connect different actions, in order, using と. The verb before と must be in present tense, but can be in regular or polite form.
- **Example (Arrived at Post Office):** 百メートル歩くと郵便局に着きました (After walking a hundred meters, I arrived at the post office.)
- **Example (Juice from button):** バトンを押しますとジュースが出ます。 (When you press the button, juice will come out.)
## Vocabulary - 2026-01-08

- **試合 (しあい)** - Sports Match
- **遅れる (おくれる)** - To be late
- **着く (つく)** - To arrive
