Another basic sentence structure

THINGは ADJECTIVEです

Here is another sentence structure that can be used when you don't necesarily want to use a verb in your sentence, but an adjective instead.

Conjugation for い adjectives

We will only focus on い adjectives for now. There are only two types of adjectives, the other being な adjectives.
とても (totemo) can be added in front of an adjective to mean "very."

New particle: に (ni)

に is used when the verb is done to / into / towards the object

• Kouen ni ikimasu = go to the park
• Gakkou ni arukimasu = walk to school
• Daisuke ni agemasu = give to Daisuke

Possessive particle: の (no)

To indicate that a noun belongs to another noun, use の

• Natsumi-san no denwa = Natsumi’s phone

To want to *verb* (~たい form)

Ex. I will eat sushi => I want to eat sushi.
Replace ます with たい (tai)

• すしをたべます。ー＞すしをたべたいです。
• Sushi wo tabemasu -> Sushi wo tabetai desu.

You will have to end the sentence with desu when your sentence ends with this form, even though it’s technically a verb and you use a particle.

Conjugation for ~たい form

Luckily, the conjugations are the same as い adjectives, shown in the table above. Just replace the い in たい　with the appropriate conjugation.
