Great .. ”くれる” is clear now

ドッグフード was quite hard to catch hehe specially the part フード。
cc: Sensei, have you explained the use of こと（事） in your website before? i couldn’t understand the use of it until now! it has been bothering me for a long time :/

Hello! Abdullah! Thank you for your first comment here!
こと is used to make verb a noun.
Ex. I love eating.
→食べることが好きです。
Ex. I love making people laugh.
→人を笑わせることが好きです。
Ex. It is important to sleep well.
→よく寝ることが大切です。
Feel free to practice here or on twitter. I can correct you.
Abdullah on July 31st, 2011
Cool .. can I use it with adjectives too?
I’ll try to make some sentences, lets see
１－ 暑いことが好きではない。 / 好きじゃない
> I hate hot weather.
２－ サッカーをしていることが好きです。
> I love playing soccer. ( how can I use ます form for this sentence too ? )
３－テニスしていることがよくできない。
> I can’t play tennis very well.
Lots of mistakes haha .. May God be with you sensei XD

Hi Abdullah!!
OK, I will help you correct the sentences.
1. Sorry! In this case 暑いのは好きではない／好きじゃない will be more natural.
2. サッカーをすることが好きです。will be more natural. していること means “being playing”（You can’t use ます with 好き.)
3. How about テニスをあまりうまくプレーすることができません。
(Without こと →テニスがあまり上手（うま）くありません。／下手（へた）です。）
Ex. テニスでボールをバックハンドで打つことが下手（へた）です。
is OK!
FYI I have ということ lesson. link
But I may make “koto” lesson for you sometime.
Thank you for always trying hard!
Abdullah on August 5th, 2011
Thank you so much for correcting senseiii.. seems i really need to work on my poor grammer >< i will make a time for ということ lesson soon inshallah,Seems a long and VALUABLE one.
btw sorry for replying too late, I already put my email account! shouldn't the website send a notification to our e-mails? or we have to check everytime?
Maggie on August 5th, 2011
@Abdullah
Your grammar is not poor at all. Just need a good practice. That’s all.
I once accept your comment, you can post comment without my authorization. It should appear automatically. But if I answer you back here in the comment. I don’t think you will get a notification by email. So I am afraid you have to come and check to the comment section. Sorry!
Abdullah on August 11th, 2011
Shokran sensei : ) Ok then i’ll check whenever i leave a reply.
