= I got scouted to be a model while walking alone around Shibuya.Įx. = Hitori de Shibuya wo aruite ita tokoro, moderu ni sukauto sareta. = When I asked my doctor to give me enough medicine for two weeks, he turned me down. = Isha ni nishuukanbun no kusuri wo dashite hoshii to onegai shita tokoro kotowarareta. ★ when you did something / while doing something + something happened (result, consequences) X You can’t say 買った ところのシャツ ( = Katta tokoro no shatsu) You can modify a noun with ばかり ( = bakari) + の ( = no) but you can’t modify a noun with ところ ( = tokoro) + の ( = no) = We just rebuilt the house a year ago but the roof of the house is already leaking. = Ichinen mae ni ie wo tatekaeta bakari nanoni mou amamori ga suru. X Since it has already passed one year, it is not natural to use ところ ( = tokoro) = Kare wa ikkagetsu mae ni nihon ni kita bakari da. You use ばかり ( = bakari) even when someone did something a long time ago if the speaker psychologically thinks they just did something. 今 ( = ima) now, たった今 ( = tatta ima) just now, ちょうど ( = choudo) just now, While you tend to use verb past tense + ところ ( = tokoro) + だ ( = da)/ です( =desu) with the time related words which represent “now”,Įx. You should pay attention to what kind of time related word are used. Other difference between verb past tense + ばかり ( = bakari) ・ ところ ( = tokoro) And when you focus on the action itself, we tend to use verb past tense + ところ( = tokoro) I would say verb past tense + ばかり( = bakari) emphasizes the fact that not much time has passed so much time after the speaker ate and focus on the state right after you ate. There is no big difference between 1) & 2) in English and 1) and 2) are more or less interchangeable in conversation. So verb past tense + ばかり ( = bakari) also means “just did something”
#Iruka sensei how to#
Maggie sensei made a lesson explaining how to use ばかり ( = bakari) before.Īs we have seen, you use ところ ( = tokoro) with the present tense or the present progressive form but you only use ばかり ( = bakari) with the past tense when you use it ito mean “just did something” Note: The difference between ところ ( = tokoro) & ばかり ( = bakari) = Choudo ima, takushii ni notta toko! Tsuitara meiru surune. = We were just talking about you, Maggie Sensei.Įx. = Ima, Maggie Sensei no koto wo hanasite ita tokoro desu. = I just woke up a little while ago so my brain isn’t working yet. = Sakki, okita toko dakara mada atama ga hatarakanain da. = Hey, what’s wrong? You look spaced out somehow. = Nee, doushitano? Nanka boutto shite nai? = I am now negotiation with my company on maternity leave. = Kaisha ni ikujikyuuka wo kakeatte iru tokoro desu. = I am now asking my teacher’s advice as to which university I should go to. = Ima, sensei to dokono daigaku ni iku ka soudan shite iru tokoro desu. ☆When you are in the middle of doing something = Un, ima, denwa wo kakeyou to omotte ita toko dayo. = Ima kara gohan wo tsukuru tokoro nan dakedo kyou, kaette kuru? Note: とこ ( = toko) is a casual contraction of ところ ( = tokoro). = But I am about to go to bed now, you know. Note: 今 ( =ima) actually means “now” but in this past tense it would be translated to “just” to indicate something has just happened. So depending on the tense, it changes the meaning. = Ima, kare ni hanashite iru tokoro desu. ☆with present progressive form: in the middle of doing something ☆with present tense: to be about to do something * 話している ( = hanashite iru) + ところ ( = tokoro) + だ ( = da) / polite です ( = desu) (to be in the middle of talking) * 話す ( = hanasu) ＋ ところ ( = tokoro) + だ ( = da) / polite です( = desu) (to be going to talk) Verb (plain form) present form, present progressive form, past tense + ところ ( = tokoro) + だ ( = da) / polite です ( = desu) There are many ways of using ところ ( = tokoro), but I will focus how to use it with verbs. Today I will teach you how to use verb + ところ ( = tokoro). My mom is going to Tokyo for a few months this fall… So I want to help her learn Japanese. Dipper Sensei is a fashionable Dutch bunny.
