Synopsis from 2025-12-23 Class

This week's lesson covered three main points:

Cause and Effect with (と): Using 「と」 to connect a cause and its natural, inevitable effect (e.g., "If I eat, I get sleepy").
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").
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).
