✨✨✨Attention Japanese✨✨✨
Hi! I talk to a lot of you and I want
to give you tips on English. Here is some slang and grammar usage tips! ✨SLANG✨
That sucks = that’s bad/I don’t like that
I’m dead = that’s really funny
Hang out = spend time together
My bad = sorry
Screw up = mess up
✨GRAMMAR✨
“I’m going to Tokyo from now”
This is wrong because “from” doesn’t work here. If you’re going to start doing something, then say “starting now” or “right now”. This works for all instances where you say “from now”. (Doesn’t apply to when there is something after it like “from now on” or “from now until 12, I’m gonna watch a movie”)
“Do you like movie?”
This is wrong because “movie” should be plural. It should be “movies”. This goes for other nouns in its place.
EXTRA!!!
