# Main Point
## よかったです
Conjugate a verb into て form, and stick よかったです after it to say that I'm glad that....


### ~ておく
Sometimes they add "おいて" after the the て form of the verb. This is おく, to put. ~ておく indicates doing something in advance for a future purpose or to ensure a specific state remains.

**君と知り合っておいてよかったです**

The speaker isn't just saying "I'm glad I know you." By using おいて, they are implying:

- Proactivity: They made the effort or "settled" the action of getting to know you.

- Future Benefit: Getting to know you was a "good move" that is paying off now or will pay off later.

- Completeness: It feels like a "box" has been checked that makes the current situation better.

Also, if attaching to a negative verb (not go, not do, not eat, etc.), it has to be ~ないで, not なくて

Lookup this more and take notes on it ^^
