    CONJUGATION AND USE OF ADJECTIVES

    I.Learning Outcomes: At the end of the module, students are expected to have:
    A. Distinguished I-adjectives and Na-adjectives in terms of their endings and conjugation;
    B. Described themselves, other people and places using appropriate Japanese adjectives; and
    C. Conjugated I-adjectives and Na-adjectives in the present and past forms, and affirmative
    and negative forms.

    II. Introduction
    Adjectives are function words that specifically modify or describe nouns or pronouns.
    In English and Japanese, one word adjectives are placed before nouns or pronouns. Unlike
    English, Japanese adjectives are of two different types: I-adjectives and Na-adjectives.

    III. Teaching –Learning Activities (TLA)


    A.Activating Prior Knowledge
    Match the nouns on the first column with the adjectives (descriptive words) on the
    Third column. The Japanese words are translated to help make your job easier. Write
    your answers on the second column. Submit your answers as Module 6-Acivity 1 in your
    Assignment Board to be submitted before our live discussion next meeting.

    Nouns Adjectives
    Bara (roses)  Fast: 速い (hayai)
    Sensei ( teacher)  Delicious: おいしい (oishii)
    Orenji ( orange) Deep: 深い (fukai)

    Asa ( morning) Cold: 寒い (samui)
    Tabemono ( food)  Rotten: 腐った (kusatta)

    B. Analysis .
    1. Examine the two types of adjectives presented in the table below. Compare
    ending letter of the I-adjective and the Na-adjective. When conjugated to present affirmative,
    present negative, past affirmative and past negative, what letter is removed from the original
    I-adjective ? How about the Na-adjective? What suffix is added ? When the Na-adjective is
    placed immediately before the modified word, what word is added between the adjective
    and the noun?

    I-adjective Na-Adjective
    Example Omoshiroi Shizuka
    Present Omoshirokunai desu Shizuka desu
    affirmative
    Present Omoshirokunai desu. Shizuka dewa arimasen deshita
    Negative
    Past Omoshirokatta desu. Shizuka deshita
    affirmative
    Past Negative Omoshirokunakatta desu. Shizuka dewa arimasen deshita
    Application in Shizuka na ie ( quiet house)
    a sentence: Sono eiga wa omoshirokatta desu.
    Kare wa shizuka na ie ni sunde
    (The movie was funny.) imasu.
    ( He lives in a quiet house.)

    Kare ga sunde imasu ie wa shizuka


    desu.

    The house he lives in is quiet.

    the live discussion via Zoom .Then post your questions on the discussion boards if there are
    things that are not clear.

    ( Verbal Adjectives). Then, give the correct conjugated form as indicated in parenthesis
    ( whether present affirmative, negative, past affirmative, past negative) . If it is a na-adjective
    and is found immediately before the modified noun, add the word “na” before the noun.
    Then, write the English translation.
    Submit your answers as Module 6 Quiz .
