There are 2 types of adjectives:

• い adjectives and な adjectives.

• い adjectives always end in い

• な adjective generally don’t end with い apart from very few exceptions!

Modified nouns:

Expensive Pen -> 高いペン

Cute Dog -> かわいい犬

Just put the い adjective in front of the noun.

ふるい本を読みます。

I read an old book.

The sentence structure when including verbs stays the same, the adjective is just added onto the front.

That noun is adjective’:

あのじてんしゃは新しいです。

That bicycle is new.

X は y です.

Noun wa adjective desu.

It’s English equivalent would be ‘The cat is cute’. ‘The car is new’.

ねこはかわいいです。

The cat is cute.

The と particle can also be used to say you are doing an activity with somebody.

と　= And/With

ラメンととんかつおねがいします。

Please give me ramen and tonkatsu.

お母さんとかんこくの映画を見ます。

With my mum, I watch a Korean movie.

毎朝、かぞくと朝ごはんを食べます。

Every Morning, I eat breakfast with my family.

Notice how there is no subject, as its assumed that you are the subject in these sentences.

一人で/Alone:

一人で.. to do something alone.

Note that the で Particle is in use here!

一人　can also mean 1 person, rather than just the connotation of being ‘Alone’.

• 今日、一人で学校に行きます。友達がありません。

• Today, I went to school alone. I don’t have friends.
