With the negative, the past is used to talk about a finished time period like 3 -5 , but
T L 1 & is used if your intention is to talk about how things stand now ("not yet7')
This use of -iI & \ 5 can be found both with verbs describing c h a ~ g e s and with verbs
describing activities, as defined in Lesson 7

In this lesson, we learn to incorporate the explanation clauses in the statements them-
selves, rather than adding them as separate sentences You can simply transpose the
"explanation+ 6% b " sequence to the beginning of a sentence for which the explanation is
offered
= (situation), because (explanation)
= (explanation), fherefore, (situation)

Trang 18In Japanese, adjectives have the same shape in noncumparative and comparative sen-
tences; there is no alteration as in "great/greater." The idea of comparison is expressed
by adding something to the nouns that are compared
1 A tDMjjbt B @' property), = A iS more @ r ~ e r M than B I
You can ask for another person's opinion on two things in comparative terms
A t B tk ~ = ? 3 ~ 1 3 3 ~ ; h f (pro~ert~),
= Befween A and B, which i m r e (property)?
XCX Z e* Z Z''9 3; 9 C3 j V ~\TT&a, L

'In red life, the phrases A 1% i h.' and B I 1 often appear in the reverse order, making it very easy to
be misled into believing the opposite of what is actually said Don't rely on the word order, therefore,
to decide which item is claimed to be superior Listen carefully for the words n C 33 4' and 1 1
'There are several alternates for Z-9 t; @ 13 i They are: ft; b C3 5 , F 7 &, and f% 41 Any one of
these can be used in question sentences seeking comparisons between two items Y ' 7 3; a d Z+T f3 e)

Pavarotti is best, naturally
Note that the words 43 i and Y-;1% are not used in statements of comparison among
three or more items Normal question words like fzh, Z*&, and a(- are used instead.'

end of a sentence when we want our partners to treat what we have just
said as a given, common ground to buiId upon These words often indicate
the speaker's intention to give her partner a chance to react and speak up
By relegating the right to speak to one's partner, they also contribute to the
politeness of one's utterance
In the dialogue, the travel agent lays out the relevant information on the

asking the obvious question, namely, r 'lij 6 aft 1 tlT?ds, the agent chooses
not to finish her sentence, and lets her customer come forward with an
