You can use just oneしclause, implying that it is not the only reason for the situation. Sometimes the し clauses follow the description of the situation explained. Professor Yamashita is a great teacher. He is good at teaching and he is kind.
山下先生はいい先生です。教えるのが上手だし、親切だし。
し clauses follow short forms. In present tense sentences, this means thatだ appears withな-adj and nouns, but no with i-adj.
.
in the very polite speech style, しcan also follow the long forms.
I will study Japanese next year, too. I like Japan, and what is more, the Japanese language is interesting.
来年も日本語を勉強します。日本が好きですし、日本語が面白いですし。
add そうです to i-adj and na-adj bases to say “looks like”. To form this with i-adj, you drop the final い; with na-adj you just drop な.
.
いい with そうです
change to よさそうです
そうです with negative adjectives - the negative endingない is changed to なさ before そう。
this book doesn’t seem to be difficult.
この本は難しくなさそうです。
It looks like Tomoko is not good at tennis.
智子さんはテニスが上手じゃなさそうです。
you can use the adjective + そうcombination to qualify a noun. そう is a na-adjective, thus we say そうな before a noun. She wears a warm-looking sweater.
彼女は暖かそうなセーターを着ています。
you can useそうです with a verb stem to describe an imminent event. It looks like it will rain. It does not look like it will rain.
雨が降りそうです。雨が降りそうもありません。
