JLPT N3 Grammar

上で

N3順序・条件

N3 · 順序・条件 · ta-form verb + 上で / noun + の + 上で

Meaning

after; upon; based on

Structure

ta-form verb + 上で / noun + の + 上で

Explanation

Shows doing the second action after completing the first, or acting based on a certain premise, foundation, or aspect.

Usage

In sequence use, the first action is usually necessary preparation. In aspect use, phrases like 生活の上で are common.

Example

資料をよく読んだ上で、参加するかどうかを決めてください。

Please decide whether to participate after carefully reading the materials.

Common Mistake

Do not treat it as identical to てから; 上で emphasizes that the first action is preparation or a basis for judgment.

Memory Tip

Stand on the foundation of the first action, then do the second.
