About the Book

In this ebook we analyze one of the most important parts of the Japanese language: Auxiliaries.

Japanese is an agglutinative language: words and verbs have a root that remains fixed, while gender, number, modes and tenses of the verb are expressed with the addition of prefixes, suffixes and auxiliaries.

This ebook focuses on the verb. We learn how the verb transforms into its various forms by adding different auxiliaries. For each auxiliary we explore its forms, uses and example sentences that will help you understand how it all works.
