part before the ます）.

Grammar Point 7-1 B
Verb ませんか。
[invitation form]
Won’t you do~?/Would you like to do~?
The negative ません form plus か may have
two interpretations. It can be just a
negative question. More often, however, it
is an invitation to do something.

How do we decline an invitation in
Japanese?
There are two phrases:
いいえ、けっこうです。
No, thank you. (I’m fine.)
ざんねんですが…
Unfortunately…
In Japanese it is preferable to not give an
excuse/explanation!
Grammar Point 7-1 C
Specific time + particle に
On/at/in ~
There are two types of time words in
Japanese; general time and specific time.
What general time words do you already
know?
あさ、きょう、あした、まいにち、いま, etc.
General time words are not followed by a
particle!
Grammar Point 7-1 C
General time words are not followed by a
particle! Specific time words such as にちよ
うび (Sunday)、いちじ (1 o’clock) and いちが
つ (January) are followed by the particle
に. The particle に means “at, in, or on.”
Example:
わたしはどようびにしゅくだいをしました。
I did my homework on Saturday.
Grammar Point 7-1 C
Here is a tip for deciding if a time word is
specific or general:
Use the word in English, and if you use a
“at, in, or on” it is specific.
On Friday
きんようびに
At 7pm
しちじに
In April
しがつに
If you don’t, then don’t use に！
On morning?! In tomorrow?! At now?!
Don’t do it!
