# Last Weeks Homework
# 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.
# Random Words
- 上手い -> Smoothly
- 上手く -> Adverb version of that ^
- うまくいくと,いいですね -> If things go smoothly, it'll be good
- 出す -> だす -> To put out, to submit
- 懐かしい -> なつかしい -> Nostalgic
# Main Point
## と after a sentence phrase
You can stick と after a phrase in a sentence to show it is the reason of what coming after. Kind of like if, but more focused on cause and effect.
- うまくいくと, いいですね
- If things go smoothly, it'll be good
- ご飯を食べると、ねむくなります。
- If I eat lunch, I'll then become sleepy
## Using てから to connect Verbs
You can conjugate a verb into て form, and stick から after it, it means that the following sentence phrase comes AFTER whatever happened in the first phrase. Good for being specific.
- いつご飯うぉたべますか? シャワーを浴び**てから**、ご飯を食べます
- When did you eat? **After** I took a shower, I ate lunch.
- いつ日本語を勉強し始めましたか?学校に入ってから、日本語を勉強しています。
- When did start studying Japanese? After I entered school, I started studying Japanese
- 宿題が終わってから、寝ます。
- After I finish homework, then I sleep
- 家に帰ってもいいですか?いいえ、まずメールを送ってから、帰ってください。
- Can I go home? No, first send a message, then please go home
