JLPT N3 Grammar

わけがない

N3Negation

N3 · Negation · plain form + わけがない

Meaning

there is no way; it is impossible that...

Structure

plain form + わけがない

Explanation

わけがない means the speaker strongly judges that something is impossible based on common sense, facts, or the situation.

Usage

Use it to reject an idea or emphasize that something cannot be true. The polite form is わけがありません.

Example

毎日練習している彼が、基本の形を忘れるわけがありません。

He practices every day, so there is no way he would forget the basic form.

Common Mistake

Do not use it exactly like はずがない in every context; わけがない emphasizes that the reason or logic makes something impossible.

Memory Tip

わけ means “reason”; if there is no reason for it to be true, it is impossible.
