Hello everyone. Today we practice usingてte-form to describe the ongoing state of things. For example, somebody or you locked a door and the door is still locked. Then you say, “Doa ga shimatte imasu.”

[00:29]

Firstly, make a sentence as follows.

For example,

electricity, off

→ The electricity is off.

Ready?

[00:42]

1.  door, open

→ The door is open.

2.  key, locked

→ It(key) is locked.

3.  car lights, off

→ The car lights are off.

4.  screen of smartphone, dirty

→ The screen of the smartphone is dirty.

5.  copy machine, broken

→ The copy machine is broken/out of order.

6.  glasses, foggy

→ My glasses are foggy.

[02:27]

When you eat ramen, your glasses get foggy, right?

Repeat after me

[02:35]

1.  Oh, there is a hole in a T-Shirts.

2.  There is a price tag on the sweter.

(nefuda = Price tag)

3.  The car door is not closed properly.

(ちゃんと = properly)

4.  The folk is dirty, so let’s have it replaced.

5.  Your trouser zipper is open.

03:50]

Now, imagine you came back from work and found that your house has been burgled. The police came and asked some questions how it was when you got home. So, you answer with te-form and past tense.

[04:08]

For example,

How was the door? Open

→ The door was open.

When you got home, the door was open.

[04:18]

Hereドアdoor is  introduced as a topic, so ドアis followed by the topic particle はwa。ドアはあいていました。
OK?
