Questions & Answers about kensyuu wo zyukousimasu.

How do you read 研修 and 受講します?

研修 is read けんしゅう.
受講します is read じゅこうします.

So the full sentence is:

けんしゅう を じゅこうします。

A natural pronunciation note: the particle is pronounced o, even though it is written with the kana .

What does the particle do here?

marks the direct object of the verb.

In this sentence:

  • 研修 = the training/course
  • 受講します = take/attend it

So shows that 研修 is the thing being taken or attended.

A very literal breakdown would be:

  • 研修 = training
  • = object marker
  • 受講します = will take / take
Why is 受講します used instead of something like 行きます or 参加します?

Because 受講する has the specific meaning of taking or attending a class, course, lecture, or training program as a learner.

So:

  • 受講します = attend/take a course or training program
  • 参加します = participate/join
  • 行きます = go

These are related, but not identical.

For example:

  • 研修に参加します focuses on joining the training.
  • 研修を受講します focuses on taking the training as a course/program.
  • 研修に行きます only means going to the training location/event.

In formal or business Japanese, 研修を受講します sounds very natural.

What exactly does 研修 mean here?

研修 usually means training, especially structured training such as:

  • employee training
  • professional development
  • orientation training
  • technical training

It is often used in work, school, or institutional settings.

It is broader and more formal than just class. Depending on context, it could refer to:

  • a training session
  • a training course
  • a seminar-style program
  • workplace training
Why is there no subject like I or we in the sentence?

Japanese often leaves out the subject when it is already understood from context.

So 研修を受講します could mean:

  • I will take the training.
  • We will take the training.
  • He/She will take the training.

The exact subject depends on the situation.

This is very normal in Japanese. You do not need to state the subject unless it is important or unclear.

Is 受講します present tense or future tense?

It can be either present or future, depending on context.

Japanese non-past forms often cover both:

  • habitual/present: I take
  • future: I will take

So 研修を受講します could mean:

  • I take the training
    or
  • I will take the training

In many real situations, English uses the future, but Japanese does not need a separate future form.

What is the dictionary form of 受講します?

The dictionary form is 受講する.

This is a する-verb.

The pattern is:

  • dictionary/plain form: 受講する
  • polite form: 受講します

This is very common in Japanese, especially with words of Chinese origin:

  • 勉強する = to study
  • 説明する = to explain
  • 練習する = to practice
  • 受講する = to take/attend a course
Why is it 研修を受講します and not 研修します?

Because 研修 and 受講 play different roles.

  • 研修 is the thing being taken: the training
  • 受講します is the action: take/attend

So 研修を受講します means take the training.

By contrast, 研修する is also possible in Japanese, but it usually means something more like undergo training, do training, or in some contexts even train/study in a specialized way, depending on who is doing it and the situation.

For a learner talking about attending a training course, 研修を受講します is clearer and more specific.

Is this sentence formal?

Yes. 受講します is polite ます-form, so the sentence sounds polite and appropriate in many situations such as:

  • speaking to a teacher
  • talking at work
  • writing on a form
  • answering in class
  • speaking to someone you do not know well

A plain form version would be:

研修を受講する。

That sounds less polite and more like a dictionary form, statement, or casual style depending on context.

Could I also say 研修を受けます?

Yes, often you can.

  • 研修を受講します
  • 研修を受けます

Both can mean that you will take/attend the training.

The difference is nuance:

  • 受講します sounds more formal and specifically tied to courses, lectures, and structured programs.
  • 受けます is broader and very common in everyday Japanese.

In business or academic contexts, 受講します often sounds especially natural.

Is 研修 singular or plural here?

Japanese nouns usually do not show singular/plural the way English does.

So 研修 could mean:

  • a training session
  • a training course
  • training in general
  • multiple training sessions

The context tells you which one is meant.

This is another normal feature of Japanese.

What is the basic word order of this sentence?

The basic order is:

noun + object marker + verb

So here:

  • 研修 = noun
  • = object marker
  • 受講します = verb

Japanese verbs usually come at the end of the sentence. That is one of the most important word-order patterns in Japanese.

Is ever pronounced as wo?

In modern standard Japanese, the particle is normally pronounced o, not wo.

So this sentence is pronounced:

けんしゅう お じゅこうします

You may sometimes see it romanized as wo to reflect the kana spelling, but in actual pronunciation it is usually just o.

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".
