Lesson 20: I wanted to swim.
|
This lesson builds on what we've learned about expressing wants. Recall from Lesson 9 that when you say you want to do something you take the ます off of the ます form of the verb and replace it with たい. Example: わたしはこうえんにいきます。 - I go to the park. Next please recall Lesson 16 and Lesson 17. Here we learned about making the negative and past forms of い adjectives. To make a negative い adjective you take off the last い and replace it with くない. To make a past form い adjective you take of the last い and replace it with かった. The negative and past forms of the たい verbs are made the same way that the い adjective forms are. To make the negative form, drop the final い and add くない. To make the past form drop the final い and add かった. To make the negative past form, drop the final い and add くなかった. Examples:
To make these sentences more polite, you can add です to the end of them. Examples:
