Japanese Grammar Practice

Can できる
Let’s practice Japanese grammar by composing a Japanese sentence after reading an English script!
The goal is to understand the overall sentence patterns for the target grammar by making a sentence over and over. Do Not try too hard to think about the grammatical rules that you learned from a textbook.
With that in mind, Let’s enjoy learning!
Practice
Try to create a Japanese sentence shortly after reading an English script. If you cannot come up with any words, just look at an answer and try it again later.
