JLPT N4 Grammar

て(原因・连接)

N4原因・並列

N4 · 原因・並列 · verb / adjectiveて形

Meaning

because; and then

Structure

verb / adjectiveて形

Explanation

The て-form can connect actions, and can also present the first clause as a light cause for the natural result that follows.

Usage

When used as a light cause, the following clause is often a natural result; use から or ので to emphasize the reason clearly.

Example

熱があって、学校を休みました。

I had a fever and stayed home from school.

Common Mistake

Do not interpret every て-form as a reason; it may simply connect actions.

Memory Tip

The て-form can lightly connect a cause to a result.
