で Practice Two
“If you don’t risk anything, you risk even more.” – Erica Jong
Let’s take a look at です #2 – once again, you’re going to finish the sentence. I’ll give you a prompt containing something that you could do something else with. For example:
コンピューターで
aコンピューターで この レポート を かいた。
Via a computer I wrote this report / I wrote this report using a computer
I’ll provide example answers for you, but come up with your own answers and compare. If you’re not sure about any of them, put them on Lang-8 and get them checked.
耳で
a耳で シークレット を きいた。
Using my ear(s) I heard a secret.
血で
a血で この え を かいた。
I drew this painting using blood
休みで
a休みで 自分 を リチャージ しました。
Using my break/vacation I recharged myself.
日光で
a日光で レーズン を つくった。
Using the sunlight I made raisins.
くるまで
aくるまで とうきょう に いった。
I went to Tokyo via car.
ちかてつで
aちかてつで かえった。
I returned (home) via subway.
肉で
a肉で ヘルメット を つくった。
I made a helmet using meat.
How did that go for you? Were you able to answer the questions? All the words were from previous things, so hopefully they helped you review, too.
When you’re able to finish all the sentences, move on to the next で which means “Because Of.”
