Verb Conjugation: -ます Form vs. Dictionary Form Mistake: Using the -ます (masu) form instead of the dictionary form in informal situations. Example Sentence with Mistake: 友達と映画を見ます。 (Tomodachi to eiga o mimasu.) Mistake: "I watch a movie with my friends." Corrected Sentence: 友達と映画を見る。 (Tomodachi to eiga o miru.) Correction: "I watch a movie with my friends." Explanation: In informal settings or when speaking casually, it's common to use the dictionary form of verbs instead of the polite -ます form. Verb Forms: Transitive vs. Intransitive Mistake: Confusing transitive and intransitive verb forms. Example Sentence with Mistake: ドアが開けます。 (Doa ga akemasu.) Mistake: "The door opens." Corrected Sentence: ドアを開けます。 (Doa o akemasu.) Correction: "I open the door." Explanation: Pay attention to whether the verb is transitive (requires a direct object) or intransitive (does not require a direct object) to use the correct particle. Verb Tenses: Past vs. Present Mistake: Using past tense when referring to something in the present. Example Sentence with Mistake: 昨日、友達とランチしました。 (Kinou, tomodachi to ranchi shimashita.) Mistake: "Yesterday, I had lunch with friends." Corrected Sentence: 今日、友達とランチしています。 (Kyou, tomodachi to ranchi shiteimasu.) Correction: "Today, I am having lunch with friends." Explanation: Ensure the verb tense matches the timeframe of the action you're describing. Verb Negation: ない (Nai) Form Mistake: Neglecting to use the ない (nai) form for negating verbs. Example Sentence with Mistake: 彼は行きます。 (Kare wa ikimasu.) Mistake: "He goes." Corrected Sentence: 彼は行きません。 (Kare wa ikimasen.) Correction: "He does not go." Explanation: To make a negative statement, conjugate the verb into the ない (nai) form. Causative and Passive Forms Mistake: Misusing or confusing causative and passive verb forms. Example Sentence with Mistake: 先生は私に宿題をされました。 (Sensei wa watashi ni shukudai o saremashita.) Mistake: "The teacher had me do homework."
