Sentence structure
Key sentences split into meaning units, showing the role of each part.
The pattern "~tari, ~tari suru" lists representative actions as examples: "do things like ... and ...." You attach "ri" to the ta-form of verbs and close with "suru": "hattari misetari shimasu." Note also how the past-tense verb directly modifies a noun in "totta shashin" (the photos I took).
The quotative "to" works twice. First, quoting speech: "kirei desu ne to iu" (say "it's pretty"); second, after the volitional: "ganbarou to omou" (think I will try hard). Also, the conditional "to" (itte kureru to = when they say) links a natural result, "then naturally ...." "shiranai hito" shows a negative form modifying a noun.
