My older brother works part-time at a convenience store.

姉あね　も　週末しゅうまつ　だけ　その　レストラン　で　アルバイト　を　します。ane mo syuumatu dake sono resutoran de arubaito wo simasu.

My older sister also works part-time at that restaurant only on weekends.

来週らいしゅう　の　火曜かよう　に　新あたらしい　アルバイト　の　面接めんせつ　が　あります。raisyuu no kayou ni atarasii arubaito no mensetu ga arimasu.

Next Tuesday I have an interview for a new part-time job.

面接めんせつ　の　前まえ　に　アルバイト　の　説明書せつめいしょ　を　よく　読よみます。mensetu no mae ni arubaito no setumeisyo wo yoku yomimasu.

Before the interview, I carefully read the part-time job's information sheet.

アルバイト　の　ため　に　履歴書りれきしょ　を　日本語にほんご　で　書かきました。arubaito no tame ni rirekisyo wo nihongo de kakimasita.

I wrote my résumé in Japanese for the part-time job.

Thanks to the letter of introduction, the part-time job interview went well, and I’m glad.

At university I wanted to join a music club with my classmates, but I was too busy with my part-time job to join.

“How do verb conjugations work in Japanese?”

Japanese verbs conjugate based on tense, politeness, and mood. For example, the polite present form adds ‑ます to the verb stem, while the past tense uses ‑ました. Unlike English, Japanese verbs don't change based on the subject — the same form works for "I", "you", and "they".
