How to answer each JLPT N5 grammar question type
Mondai 1 Grammar form64 questions
Choose the grammar pattern or word form that fills the blank.
- Look at the form before the blank: dictionary form, て-form, ない-form or a noun.
- Look at the tone at the end of the sentence: a guess, an obligation, a wish or surprise.
- For patterns with similar meanings, check what each attaches to and when it is used.
- Common mistake: The right meaning in the wrong form, such as a pattern that follows verbs when a noun comes before the blank.
