There were complaints from students that they were not ready for test and needed more review. They had not viewed this website. They received a reminder regarding the necessity for ASKING POLITELY, which is much better than DEMANDING RUDELY. Politeness is so central to Japanese language that it is even built into verbs and is a prefix addition to nouns.

Class re-iterated questions from yesterday and also reviewed some basic sentence patterns.

Review Kanji for nouns of position:

上、下、前、左、右、後ろ、隣、外、内、中、間、（聞く、門）


Addressed questions regarding the chapter ；TEST　TOMORROW　！！！！.

On board:

Previous uses of relational particle　 に　with certain verbs

１．Destination　に　Traveling Verb

２．Specific Time (With Name or Number) に　Active Verb

３．A.　Location (の　Position)　に　Animal or Person　が　います。

B. Location (の　Position)　に　Inanimate Object　が　あります。


Special idiomatic uses of relational particle に。

1. わたし　は　プール　に　はいりました。

2. わたし　は　まち　で　ともだち　に　あいました。

3. みんな　は　シカゴ　に　すんで　いました。


Don’t mix up あります exists、with あいます meets、

“together” as a sort of adverbial phrase:

せんせい　は　せいと　と　いっしょ　に　えいが　を　見ました。

Homework: Write 5 sentences for a projected test on elements of this chapter that YOU couldn’t answer without looking at the book.
