# Synopsis from 2025-12-11 Class This week's lesson covered two main grammar points: 1. **~みたいです (Looks Like):** * Used to create similes or make observations. * Can be used with verbs (plain form), nouns, and adjectives. * With nouns, it creates a metaphor ("like a computer"). * With verbs and adjectives, it's more of an observation ("looks like he is tired"). 2. **前に (Before):** * Indicates that one action happens before another. * Used with a verb in its dictionary form or a noun with `の`. * The verb in the `前に` clause is always non-past, non-polite. - Make 5 example sentences with `みたいです` - Make 5 example sentences with `前に` - Review the new vocabulary - Read the synthesized notes and prepare for next class
