2. Indicate possible combinations with "X". There might be more than one possible combination for each set, or there might be no correct combinations.
   1. _____ to omoimasu.
      • ___ Zyuu-go sai

        This one is wrong. "Zyuu-go sai" is a nominal, so it needs だ before と思う.

      • ___ Gozonzi

        This one is wrong. "Gozonzi" is also a nominal, so it needs だ before と思う.

      • _X_ Wakaranai

        Right! The translation is:

        "I don't think (he) understands."

      • ___ Samui desu

        This one is wrong. You must use the direct form before と思う.

      • _X_ Kasanakatta

        Right! The translation is:

        "I don't think that (he) lent (something)."

   2. Ano gaizin to _____ .
      • _X_ mairimasita

        Right! The translation is:

        "I came/went with that foreigner."

      • _X_ hanasita?

        Right! The translation is:

        "Did you talk to that foreigner?"

      • _X_ mo?

        Right! The translation is:

        "(Do/Did/Will you do something) with that foreigner as well?"

   3. _____ de irassyaimasu.
      • ___ Uti no kazoku

        This one is wrong. You cannot use "de irassyaimasu" (an honorific form) with an in-group form like "uti no kazoku."

      • ___ Ane

        This one is wrong. It should be "Onee-san."

      • _X_ Miyazi sensee

        Right! The translation is:

        "It's Prof. Miyazi."

   4. _____ ni ikimasita ka.
      • _X_ Issyo

        Right! The translation is:

        "Did you go together?"

      • ___ Tomodati to hutari

        This one is wrong. It should be "hutari de" not "hutari ni."

      • ___ Itu

        This one is wrong. You cannot have the particle "ni" with "itu."

      • _X_ Kokonoka

        Right! The translation is:

        "I went there on the ninth."

   5. Attakaku _____ .
      • ___ daroo nee.

        This one is wrong. It should be "Attakai daroo" ("Probably warm") or "Attakaku naru daroo" ("Probably become warm.")

      • ___ kara, ii desu nee.

        This one is wrong. It should be "Attakai kara" ("Because it's warm") or "Attakai desu kara" ("Because it's warm," distal style.)

      • ___ ni naru desyoo.

        This one is wrong. "Attakai" is an i-Adj, to "to become warm" is "Attakaku naru," without "ni."

      • _X_ site kudasaimasen ka?

        Right! The translation is:

        "Could you make it warm?"

   6. _____ da kara, yamemasyoo.
      • ___ Osoi

        This one is wrong. It should be "Osoi kara" ("Because it's late...")

      • _X_ Iya

        Right! The translation is:

        "Because it's unpleasant, let's give up."

      • ___ Taihen na

        This one is wrong. It should be "Taihen da kara, yamemasyoo." ("Because it's terrible, let's give up."

        However, if you had a Nominal after "taihen na" as in "Taihen na zyugyoo da kara..." ("because it's a hard class...") then it works.

      • ___ Tumaranai

        This one is wrong. The direct form of "Tumaranai desu" is simply "Tsumaranai" so it should be "Tsumaranai kara..." ("Because it's boring...")
