Unit 2, end

Unit 2, Lesson 10

(2 lessons to go in Unit 2, so let's move forward, shall we?)

(In my last post, at the end, I talked a bit about this...these are conjugated verbs, and they won't show up in a dictionary. Take "tobikoemashita", the verb there is "tobikoeru" in its base form, the command form is "tobikoete", and the past-tense verb is "tobikoemashita". The link from my last post helps a lot in figuring this out.)
Onnanohito wa tonde imasu - The woman is jumping
Onnanohito wa tobimashita - The woman jumped (base form of the verb is "tobu")
Uma wa tobikoete imasu - The horse is jumping over
Uma wa tobikoemashita - The horse jumped over

Otokonoko wa korobikakete imasu - The boy is starting to trip/fall down (the verb is "kororu", but verb + kakeru is like "starting to do ~")
Otokonoko wa korobimashita - The boy fell down (past tense again, signified by "mashita")
Kaubooi wa uma kara ochisoodesu - The cowboy looks like he is going to fall from the horse (Kaubooi = Cowboy, the verb is "ochiru" but verb + sou (for example, shisou) means "looks like it's going to ~")
Kaubooi wa uma kara ochimashita - The cowbow fell off the horse (again, past-tense)

Onnanoko wa kami o kitte imasu - The girl is cutting the paper (base verb is "kiru", and the "kami" here is important. It is the word for hair, but also for paper, and in this case it is referring to paper. The kanji for "paper" is notably different than "hair", which is how you will eventually be able to tell the difference in written word later on.)
