EP85 Japanese Te-form: Connect Actions

Today, we’re taking a closer look at the Japanese て-form!

In the previous episode, I talked about my daily life in Japanese and used the て-form many times:

Asagohan o tsukutte, koohii o nomimasu.
I make breakfast and then drink coffee.

Ie ni kaette, sentaku ya souji o shimasu.
I go home and do the laundry and cleaning.

In this episode, we’ll look at how the て-form connects two actions and creates a natural flow from one action to the next.

You’ll hear lots of useful everyday Japanese phrases, especially expressions that adults can use in daily life, work, family, shopping, and more.

We’ll also briefly compare:

A shite, B shimasu.
A happens, and then B happens.

and

A shite kara, B shimasu.
I do B after doing A.

If you’ve heard the て-form before but still aren’t quite sure how to use it, this episode is for you!

Listen, repeat, and try making your own sentences with the て-form.
