About Learn Japanese Grammar
Learn Japanese Grammar is a set of web pages that explain Japanese grammar and usage for English speakers. Rather than presenting Japanese as a list of patterns to memorize, it covers the underlying structure of the language and compares it with English grammar.
The pages cover numbers, nouns and pronouns, two parts on verbs, adjectives, particles, conditional forms, sentence structure, polite language, and reading and writing. Examples are written in romaji (romanized Japanese), and the pages do not use kana or kanji characters. The material assumes a working knowledge of English grammar but does not require training in linguistics.
