This is a book that seems helpful for people who lack basic knowledge. It makes scoring in Classical Chinese and Classical Japanese on the Common Test more interesting.
Approach for distinguishing conjugation patterns:
- Distinguishing based on reasons:
- Determine based on the word directly below or the word that influences it.
- Memorize the logic.
- Distinguishing based on results:
- Memorize the conjugation table.
Conjugation of verbs:
- Conjugation table:
- Upper Ichidan (Class 1) verbs:
- Differences between いとゐ (itaru, iru):
- 射る (itaru) and 鋳る (iru) belong to this category.
- 率る (itaru) and 居る (iru) belong to this category.
- These should be memorized.
- Differences between いとゐ (itaru, iru):
- Sahu (Class 2) verbs:
- Pay attention to the combination of a noun and す (su) and other conjugation patterns.
- If it is a one-character kanji with on’yomi followed by す (su), it is definitely a Sahu verb.
- Also, おはす (ohasu) belongs to this category.
- Distinguishing non-memorization (Yodan, Upper Nidan, Lower Nidan) conjugation forms:
- Add ない (nai) and check the imperfective form.
- By chance, the imperfective form has not changed in modern times, so the intuition of modern people can be used.
- Add ない (nai) and check the imperfective form.
- Other points:
- Be careful with compound verbs and try to notice them.
- For example, かかり (kakari) and さり (sari) are not obvious (Rahu).
- Make sure not to include る (ru) in the conjugation pattern.
- Be careful with compound verbs and try to notice them.
- Upper Ichidan (Class 1) verbs:
Conjugation of adjectives:
- Conjugation table:
- Instead of memorizing all patterns, it seems easier to understand the relationships and differences.
- Differences between ku-conjugation and shiku-conjugation, etc.
- Differences between the left column of adjective conjugation and Rahu.
- Distinguishing conjugation patterns:
- If it is not the same as the conclusive form, it can be distinguished normally.
- If it is not distinguishable in the conclusive form, add なる (naru) and check the continuative form.
- By chance, the continuative form has not changed in modern times, so the intuition of modern people can be used.
Conjugation of adjectival nouns:
- Conjugation table:
- The right side is the auxiliary verb version, and the left side is the non-auxiliary verb version.
- Note that this is the opposite of the adjective table.
- The right side is the auxiliary verb version, and the left side is the non-auxiliary verb version.
- Distinguishing conjugation patterns:
- First of all, the Ta form hardly appears, and in any case, it is obvious.
- Distinguishing between auxiliary verbs and conjugation patterns:
- There are also auxiliary verbs such as たり (tari) and なり (nari), which can be confusing.
- Identification method:
- If adding とても (totemo) makes sense, it is an adjectival noun.
- There is also a phenomenon called “onbin” (sound euphony).
