Did you.... Have you ... Have you ever...

A number of students were having trouble with "kanryouke" and so...I decided to review it in a number of classes....

Here are a couple notes from class this week...

#1 ~ “~shimashita ka? X2” …in English, please…
                                          *Did you…
                                          *Have you….



OK...now…Remember:
     “Did you”…. a finished past action or experience
     “Have you”…Please think of an action…that happens….
                             Between a time and now

#2 ~ “~shita koto ga arimasu ka?” …in English, please…
                                          *Have you ever….
                                          *Have you ever done…

Alright and...
Here are a couple of questions from this week's lesson..

1.       “Konya yushoku ni nani wo tsukurimasu ka” …in English, please…
*What will you make for dinner tonight?

Alright ….Sounds good… and…


2.      What will you make for dinner tonight?
      "Mada kangaeteinai"
#1 ~ I haven’t thought about it yet.
#2 ~ I haven’t thought about what to make yet

Sounds good or…
How about this one…?
 "Mada kimeteinai"
#23~ I haven’t decided yet

Alright …next....


3.       What is “~shita koto ga arimasu ka?” …in English, please…
*Have you ever….
*Have you ever done…

Sounds good now…for…
 “Have you ever…”

We go further back into the past...
Like… …   #1 ~ “umareta toki kara…ima made”
                    #2 ~ “jinsei…ima made”

And for this pattern, too…. you just need to add a “kakobunshi” …again…
                                  Have you ever + Kakobunshi

Alright now…
I KNOW many of you might NOT BE interested in Star Wars...but...
I think Star Wars is a good example for how to use “kanryoke” and so…
4.       When was the new movie released?
*It was released on December 16, 2016
*It was released in December
*It was released in 2016
*It was released in December 2016
......

Option…#1…
“Atarashi Star Wars no eiga wo mimashita ka?”
#1 ~ Did you see the new Star Wars movie?

Or…
Option…#2…
#2 ~ Have you seen the new Star Wars movie yet?
        Have you ever seen the new Star Wars movie? X (too new)

And…by the way…
5.       Have you seen it?
*No, I haven’t.

OK…and…
6.       Why didn’t you watch it?
*Because ............

OK…no problem…
Now….If we take a look at the original movie……
7.       When was it released?
*It was released in 1977
*It was released 40 years ago.

Alright now…
This movie is pretty old and so…
#1 ~ “~mita koto ga arimasu ka” …is definitely OK...

OK…so then…Question…

#1 ~ “Star Wars wo mita koto ga arimasu ka”
*Have you ever seen it?
*Have you ever seen the original Star Wars movie?

Sounds good…but…
“Mimashita ka is also OK?”
#2 ~ Did you see the original Star Wars movie?
#3 ~ Have you seen the original Star Wars movie? (maybe you watched it recently??)

Sounds good…now...all 3 patterns were OK...
#1 ~Jinsei ima made
 #2 ~ Past
#3 ~ ?? time up to now

Alright now…next question…
8.       How many Star Wars movies have there been so far?
*There have been 8 movies
*There have been 8 Star Wars movies
*There have been 8 Star Wars movies so far

OK…now…
9.       How many of the 8 Star Wars movies have you seen?
                 #1 ~ *I have never seen a Star Wars movie
                 #2 ~ *I have seen none of them
                 #3 ~ *I haven’t seen any of them yet
                         *I haven’t seen all of them yet.
                         *I have seen 1 Star Wars movie so far

Alright now…
Another reason to use “have” for Star Wars is…
The story is continuing…and new movies are coming soon…

OK…now…Recently….
10.   How has the Disney Company been getting? 
*It has been getting bigger
*It has been getting bigger and bigger

And…
11.   What 2 big companies has Disney bought?
*Disney has bought Star Wars and Marvel

Sounds good…now…
If we take a look over here..
12.   How much did Disney buy Star Wars for?
*It bought Star Wars for 4 billion dollars

OK…and…
13.   How much is that in yen?

And…If we take a look…down here…at the date
14.   How long has Disney owned Star Wars for?
*Disney has owned Star Wars for 4 years
*Disney has owned Star Wars since October 30, 2012

And…If we take a look…
Since Disney bought Star Wars in 2012…
15.   How many movies have they made?
*They have made 2 movies
*They have made 2 new movies

Well there are just a couple of notes....
Hope that they help or helped....
