# 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.

## 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.
