Questions & Answers about ashita, kakujitsuni shorui o teishutsusuru.
How do you read this sentence?
A common reading is:
あした、かくじつに しょるい を ていしゅつする。
Word by word:
- 明日 = あした (tomorrow)
- 確実に = かくじつに (certainly, definitely, without fail)
- 書類 = しょるい (documents, paperwork)
- を = object marker, pronounced お
- 提出する = ていしゅつする (to submit, hand in)
Why does 提出する look like “present tense” if the sentence is about the future?
In Japanese, the plain non-past form often covers both present and future.
So 提出する can mean:
- submit
- will submit
- am going to submit
The time word 明日 makes it clear that this sentence is talking about the future, so English naturally translates it as will submit tomorrow.
Why is there no subject like I or he in the sentence?
