    [ Back to Grammar Notes ]

    「てForm」or「~から」?

    To express reasons, there are some expressions like「から」or「~て」. I would like to explain just two basic rules of 「~て」.

    RULE

    1) Expressions containing volition (will, order, invitation or request) are not used in the latter part of the sentences.

    ◯ とても疲れて、眠くなった。

    ☓ とても疲れて、寝たい。 (hope)

    ◯ とても疲れたから、寝たい。

    ☓ 寒くて、窓を閉めてください。 (request)

    ◯ 寒いから、窓を閉めてください。

    2) First part takes place first and the second part takes places after that.

    ◯ 昨日 彼女と会って、うれしかった。

    ☓ 明日 彼女と会って、うれしい。

    ◯ 明日 彼女と会うから、うれしい。

    ◯ 先週はテストがあって、とても疲れた。

    ☓ 明日はテストがあって、とても疲れる。
