# 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 # Main Point ## ~ように Usually used in prayers.
