When I watch his expression, I come to understand his mood well even without him saying anything.

Since breaking up with my partner last year, I’ve gradually become able to enjoy time alone.

I am satisfied because I am gradually coming to understand Japanese grammar.

As you come to understand Japanese grammar, speaking in Japanese becomes more and more fun.

That drama was broadcast live, and it was funny that we could hear the actors’ line mistakes just as they were.

After class, when we share our impressions about today’s example sentences with friends, we start to see our own ways of thinking a little more clearly.

As my Japanese conversation improved, the time I spent talking with my practice partner became more and more fun.

“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".
