2. Also - も

日本語

英語

私は学生です。　私も学生です。

本田さんは大学生じゃありません。私も大学生じゃありません。

私の名前はジェイソンです。　私も。

I am a student. I am also a student. ( I am a student too.)

Mr. Honda is not a university student. 　I am a university student too.

My name is Jason. Mine too.

Grammar Notes:

When someone makes a statement about them self, you can substitute the　particle "は" for "も" to state that you also have that in common. "も" represents the English "also" or "too."

Note: This can be used in both positive and negative statements.

Try answer to these statements. Indicating that you also have that in common:

私はカナダ人です。

ジョンさんは大学生です。

私は日本人じゃない。

3. Asking And Answering - Yes/No Questions

ジョンは大学生ですか。
はい、ジョンは大学生です。

これはジョンの傘ですか。
いいえ、ジョンの傘じゃありません。

それはあなたの犬ですか。
はい、そうです。

Is John a university student? or Are you a university student?
Yes, John is a university student.

Is this John's umbrella?
No, it is not John's umbrella.

Is that your dog?
Yes, that's right.

Grammar Notes:

Question: Noun は Noun ですか。

Answer: (Yes...) はい/ええ、 (Noun は) Noun です。
Answer: (Yes, that's right.) そう　です。　

Answer: (No...) いいえ、 (Noun は) Noun じゃありません。
Answer: (No, that's not right.) そう　じゃありません。

はい is a more polite way to say "yes," where ええ is a more casual way to say "yes."

The topic noun (Noun は) can be omitted when answering questions.
