日本にほんの 生活せいかつ（ ）慣なれましたか。
・・・はい、もう 慣なれました。
①が
②を
③に
④へ
③に
“Have you gotten used to life in Japan?”
Explanation of the options:
が — “ga” (subject marker).
❌ This doesn’t fit because “生活” (life) isn’t the subject of “慣れる” (to get used to). The person (you) is the one getting used to something.
を — “wo” (direct object marker).
❌ This is wrong because 慣れる (get used to) does not take a direct object in Japanese.
に — ✔️ Correct!
慣れる (nare-ru, “to get used to”) uses に to indicate what you are getting used to.
日本の生活に慣れましたか = “Have you gotten used to life in Japan?”
へ — “e” (direction marker).
❌ This is for indicating direction, like “going to a place,” so it doesn’t work here.
まえは 5時間じかんくらい かかりましたが、今いまは 2時間じかん（ ）行いける ように なりました。
①へ
②で
③まで
④しか
②で
“Before, it took about 5 hours, but now I’m able to get there in (____) 2 hours.”
Explanation of the options:
へ — “to” (indicating direction).
❌ This would work if you were saying “go to” somewhere, but here you’re talking about how long it takes, not the destination.
で — ✔️ Correct!
で can be used to show the time it takes to do something.
2時間で行ける = “can get there in 2 hours.”
まで — “until” or “up to.”
❌ This is more for expressing endpoints, so it doesn’t work here.
しか — “only (with negative).”
❌ This would require a negative verb, like “しか行けません” (can only go), so it doesn’t work with 行けるようになりました.
かぜが（ ）ように、きょうは 早はやく 寝ねます。
①治なおった
②治なおろう
③治なおれる
④治なおる
④治なおる
“So that my cold (_____), I will go to bed early today.”
Explanation of the options:
治った (naotta) — “has gotten better” (past tense).
❌ This doesn’t fit because you’re talking about a future hope, not something that already happened.
治ろう (naorou) — volitional form (“let’s recover”).
❌ This is used when you decide to do something yourself (“Let’s recover”), so it doesn’t fit well for a cold.
治れる (naoreru) — potential form (“be able to recover”).
❌ This form is unnatural because “recovering from a cold” isn’t something we usually talk about in terms of ability.
治る (naoru) — ✔️ plain dictionary form (“to recover” or “to get better”).
✅ This is the correct choice!
ように is used after the dictionary form to express “so that ~” or “in order to ~”.
かぜが治るように = “so that my cold gets better”
パソコンが 苦にが手てですから、上じょう手ずに（ ）ように、最さい近きん パソコン教きょう室しつに 通かよって います。
①直なおせる
②つけられる
③できる
④使つかえる
④使つかえる
“Because I’m bad with computers, I’m going to a computer class recently so that I can become good at (____).”
Explanation of the options:
直せる (naoseru) — “be able to fix.”
❌ This doesn’t fit, because the sentence is about becoming good with computers in general, not specifically fixing them.
つけられる (tsukerareru) — “be able to turn on” or “be able to attach.”
❌ This doesn’t fit the meaning of getting better at using a computer.
できる (dekiru) — “be able to do.”
❌ While this is a common verb, it’s too general. It doesn’t really fit in the context of “becoming good at using a computer.”
使える (tsukaeru) — ✔️ “be able to use.”
✅ This is the correct choice.
使えるように means “so that I can use it.”
上手に使えるように means “so that I can use it well.”
このごろ ショパンの 曲きょくが ピアノで（ ）ように なりました。
①歌うたえる
②吹ふける
③打うてる
④弾ひける
④弾ひける
“Lately, I’ve gotten to the point where I can (____) Chopin’s pieces on the piano.”
Explanation of the options:
歌える (utaeru) — “be able to sing.”
❌ This doesn’t fit, as it’s about playing the piano, not singing.
吹ける (fukeru) — “be able to blow (wind instrument).”
❌ This is for wind instruments, not piano.
打てる (uteru) — “be able to hit” (like with a bat or a drum).
❌ This doesn’t apply to playing the piano.
弾ける (hikeru) — ✔️ “be able to play (a stringed or keyboard instrument, like a piano).”
✅ This is the correct answer! 弾ける is the potential form of 弾く (hiku), meaning “to play (a musical instrument),” and it’s commonly used for piano.
もう 日に本ほんの 食たべ物ものに（ ）か。
①なれました
②たべました
③ありました
④すぎました
①なれました
“Have you already (____) Japanese food?”
Explanation of the options:
なれました (naremashita) — “have gotten used to.”
✅ This is the correct choice!
日本の食べ物に慣れましたか means “Have you gotten used to Japanese food?”
This is the most natural way to ask if someone has become accustomed to the taste of Japanese food.
たべました (tabemashita) — “ate” (past tense).
❌ This doesn’t fit because the sentence is asking about a state of getting used to, not about having eaten it.
ありました (arimashita) — “was there” (existence).
❌ This is for indicating that something existed or was present, so it doesn’t fit in this context.
すぎました (sugimashita) — “exceeded” or “passed.”
❌ This means something went beyond a limit or time, but it doesn’t make sense in this context.
試し合あいに 出でられる ように（ ）の 練習れんしゅうを して います。
①けんどう
②ラッシュ
③ほんしゃ
④うちゅう
①けんどう
“I’m practicing (____) so that I can participate in a trial match.”
Explanation of the options:
けんどう (kendō) — “kendo” (Japanese martial art with bamboo swords).
✅ This is the correct answer!
試し合い (tameshiai) means “trial match” or “practice match,” and けんどう is a martial art, so it makes sense to practice kendo for a trial match.
ラッシュ (rasshu) — “rush” (loanword from English).
❌ This doesn’t fit in the context of a trial match.
ほんしゃ (honsha) — “main office” or “headquarters.”
❌ This doesn’t make sense in the context of practicing for a trial match.
うちゅう (uchū) — “outer space.”
❌ This is clearly unrelated to a trial match or practicing.
（ ）よく 自じ転てん車しゃに 乗のって います。
①あとで
②まいとし
③ぜったいに
④このごろ
④このごろ
“I’ve been riding my bicycle (____).”
Explanation of the options:
あとで (atode) — “after” (refers to a time after something happens).
❌ This doesn’t make sense in this context. It would be about doing something after an event, but here we need a word that shows frequency.
まいとし (maitoshi) — “every year.”
❌ This doesn’t fit, because it’s about frequency, but in terms of years, not days or months.
ぜったいに (zettai ni) — “absolutely” or “definitely.”
❌ This means “absolutely” or “without fail,” but we need a word that describes frequency of the action, not emphasis.
このごろ (kono goro) — “lately” or “recently.”
✅ This is the correct answer!
このごろ fits perfectly here to describe the recent frequency of riding a bicycle.
このごろよく自転車に乗っています = “I’ve been riding my bicycle often lately.”
やっと ひらがなが 書かける ように なりました。
①まだ 1つしか ひらがなが 書かけません。
②すぐ ひらがなを 覚おぼえることが できました。
③ひらがなの 勉べん強きょうに 時じ間かんが かかりました。
④ひらがなの 勉強べんきょうは とても 簡単かんたんでした。
③ひらがなの 勉べん強きょうに 時じ間かんが かかりました。
“I’ve finally gotten to the point where I can write hiragana.”
まだ 1つしか ひらがなが 書かけません。
まだ = “still” or “not yet”
1つしか = “only one”
ひらがなが 書かけません = “cannot write hiragana”
❌ This doesn’t fit well because it contradicts the fact that the sentence says you can now write hiragana. Saying 1つしか (only one) implies you are still struggling with it.
すぐ ひらがなを 覚えることが できました。
すぐ = “immediately”
ひらがなを 覚えることが できました = “was able to learn hiragana.”
❌ This suggests that you learned hiragana immediately, but the sentence already says “I finally got to the point,” implying a longer process.
ひらがなの 勉強に 時間が かかりました。
✅ This is the correct choice!
ひらがなの 勉強 = “study of hiragana”
時間が かかりました = “took time”
This fits perfectly because learning hiragana took time, which matches the context of finally being able to write it.
ひらがなの 勉強は とても 簡単でした。
❌ This doesn’t fit well because it contradicts the idea of struggling with learning hiragana. If it were “easy,” it wouldn’t have taken long.
「かなり」
①試し験けんのとき、ペンと消けしゴムを かなり 忘わすれないでください。
②電でん車しゃの時じ間かんに 間まに合あいませんよ。 かなり 出でかけましょう。
③日に本ほん語ごが かなり わかるように なりました。
④わたしは 漢かん字じが かなりしか 書かけません。
③日に本ほん語ごが かなり わかるように なりました。
試験のとき、ペンと消しゴムを かなり 忘れないでください。
❌ This sentence doesn’t make sense because かなり implies a large degree of something, but here it’s used with 忘れないでください (please don’t forget), which creates confusion. “Don’t forget quite a bit” is awkward in this context.
電車の時間に 間に合いませんよ。 かなり 出かけましょう。
❌ This doesn’t fit. かなり means “quite a lot,” but 出かけましょう (let’s go out) doesn’t fit with “quite” in this context. It’s unclear what “quite” is modifying here.
日本語が かなり わかるように なりました。
✅ This is the correct choice!
かなり fits here because it expresses a considerable improvement in understanding Japanese.
日本語がかなりわかるようになりました = “I have become quite good at understanding Japanese.”
わたしは 漢字が かなりしか 書けません。
❌ This doesn’t work because かなり implies a large amount, but it’s paired with しか (only), which would require a negative verb. It sounds grammatically incorrect.
もう 日に本ほんの 生せい活かつ（ )慣なれましたか。
①に
②で
③が
④を
①に
“Have you already gotten used to Japanese life (____)?”
Explanation of the options:
に
✅ This is the correct answer!
に is used to indicate the target or destination of the action, and in this case, it is used with 慣れる (nareru), which means “to get used to.”
日本の生活に慣れましたか means “Have you gotten used to Japanese life?”
で
❌ This is used to indicate a location where an action happens, or a means of doing something, but it doesn’t fit with 慣れる. We don’t “get used to” something at a specific place, so に is a better fit.
が
❌ が is the subject marker, but 生活 (life) is the object being “gotten used to,” not the subject. に is used for the target of 慣れる.
を
❌ を marks the direct object of a verb, but 慣れる does not take を in this context. It takes に to indicate the thing you are getting used to.
よく（ ）ように、前まえの 方ほうに 座すわりましょう。
①見みる
②見みえた
③見みえる
④見みえて
③見みえる
“Let’s sit at the front so that we can (____) well.”
Explanation of the options:
見みる (miru) — “to see” (plain form of the verb).
❌ This is the base verb form, but it doesn’t fit here. We need the potential form (ability to see), not the plain verb.
見みえた (mieta) — “was visible” (past form of 見える).
❌ This would imply that something was visible in the past, but the sentence is talking about the present or future, so this doesn’t fit.
見みえる (mieru) — “can see” or “is visible.”
✅ This is the correct answer!
見える is the potential form of 見る (to see), meaning “can see” or “is visible.”
The sentence is saying “Let’s sit at the front so that we can see well.”
見みえて (miete) — “can see” (te-form of 見える).
❌ The te-form is used for connecting to another verb or in requests, but here we need the potential form by itself.
毎まい晩ばん 家か族ぞくに 電でん話わして いるんですか。
・・・はい、家族かぞくが 心配しんぱいしますから、電話でんわを（ ）ように して います。
①する
②しない
③した
④しなかった
①する
毎まい晩ばん 家か族ぞくに 電でん話わして いるんですか。
“Do you call your family every night?”
・・・はい、家族が心配しますから、電話を（ ）ようにしています。
“…Yes, because my family worries, I make sure to (____) by phone.”
Explanation of the options:
する (suru) — “to do” (plain form).
✅ This is the correct answer!
電話をする = “to make a phone call.”
The sentence structure here is talking about making sure to do something, so する is appropriate for this context.
電話をするようにしています = “I make sure to make a phone call.”
しない (shinai) — “not do” (negative form).
❌ This would suggest “I make sure not to call,” which contradicts the context (since the family worries, you’re making the call, not avoiding it).
した (shita) — “did” (past tense).
❌ This is the past tense of する, and the sentence is in a present/future context (“I make sure to do something”), so the past tense doesn’t fit.
しなかった (shinakatta) — “did not do” (past negative).
❌ Again, this is in the past tense and negative, which doesn’t work with the present/future intent of the sentence.
試し合あい（ ）（ ）（ ★ ）（ ）。
①に
②練習れんしゅうして います
③出でられる
④ように
④ように
Pieces to work with:
に – particle indicating “in” or “for”
練習して います – “I am practicing”
出られる – “can participate”
ように – “so that”
Explanation:
The structure 〜ように練習しています means “I am practicing so that I can ～.” This is a very common grammar pattern for talking about practicing with a goal in mind.
The goal here is 試合に出られる (“be able to participate in the match”). This whole phrase becomes the goal inside ように練習しています.
Correct Order:
試合に出られるように練習しています。
新あたらしい 車くるまを 買かいたいですから、毎月まいつき（ ）ように しています。
①しゅうりする
②ちょきんする
③ちゅういする
④かいものする
②ちょきんする
“Since I want to buy a new car, I make sure to (____) every month.”
Explanation of the options:
しゅうりする — “to repair”
❌ This doesn’t fit. Saving money is more logical than repairing something every month when you want to buy a new car.
ちょきんする — “to save money”
✅ This is the correct answer!
貯金するようにしています = “I make sure to save money.”
This fits perfectly with wanting to buy a new car.
ちゅういする — “to be careful”
❌ This is unrelated to saving for a car.
かいものする — “to go shopping”
❌ This doesn’t fit since spending money contradicts the goal of saving for a car.
最さい近きん 暑あついですから、食たべものが（ ）しまいました。
①たべて
②くさって
③にえて
④ふとって
②くさって
“Because it’s been hot recently, the food has (____).”
Explanation of the options:
たべて — “eaten” (te-form of 食べる)
❌ This doesn’t fit. The sentence is talking about food going bad, not being eaten.
くさって — “rotted / gone bad” (te-form of 腐る - to rot)
✅ This is the correct answer!
食べ物が腐ってしまいました = “The food ended up spoiling.”
This makes sense with the heat causing the food to go bad.
にえて — “boiled” (te-form of 煮える - to boil)
❌ This is unrelated to food spoiling.
ふとって — “got fat” (te-form of 太る - to gain weight)
❌ This doesn’t make sense for food.
あしたは JTESTが ありますから、（ ）在ざい留りゅうカードを 忘わすれない ように して ください。
・・・はい、わかりました。
①きっと
②ぜったいに
③ほとんど
④このごろ
②ぜったいに
“Since there’s a JTEST tomorrow, please make sure not to forget your residence card (____).”
Explanation of the options:
きっと — “surely” or “definitely (prediction)”
❌ This doesn’t work here. “きっと” is for expressing confidence in something happening (e.g., “I’m sure it will rain”).
ぜったいに — “absolutely” or “without fail”
✅ This is the correct answer!
ぜったいに忘れないようにしてください = “Please make sure you absolutely do not forget it.”
This fits the context perfectly because it’s an important test, and you must bring your 在留カード (residence card).
ほとんど — “almost” or “mostly”
❌ This doesn’t fit at all here.
このごろ — “these days”
❌ This doesn’t fit this sentence either.
わたしは できるだけ 階段かいだんを（ ）ように して います。
①使つかいます
②使つかう
③使つかって
④使つかった
②使つかう
“I try to (____) the stairs as much as possible.”
Explanation of the options:
使います — polite present/future form “use”
❌ This does not fit because ようにしています usually pairs with the dictionary form (plain form), not the polite form.
使う — dictionary form “to use”
✅ This is the correct answer!
使うようにしています = “I make sure to use.”
This fits perfectly because you’re talking about a habit or something you’re trying to do regularly.
使って — te-form “using”
❌ This is incorrect grammar in this case. You can’t use the te-form directly with ようにしています.
使った — past tense “used”
❌ This doesn’t fit because the sentence is talking about an ongoing habit, not something in the past.
危あぶないですから、ここに 自じ転てん車しゃを（ ）ように して ください。
①止とめて
②止とめない
③止とめた
④止とめなかった
②止とめない
“Because it’s dangerous, please make sure to (____) your bicycle here.”
Explanation of the options:
止めて — te-form “park/stop”
❌ This doesn’t fit because ようにしてください is asking someone not to park for safety reasons, not to do something.
止めない — “not park/stop”
✅ This is the correct answer!
止めないようにしてください = “Please make sure not to park.”
This fits because they are asking you to avoid parking there for safety.
止めた — past tense “parked”
❌ This doesn’t fit because it refers to something already done, which doesn’t match a request.
止めなかった — past negative “did not park”
❌ This doesn’t fit at all because the sentence is asking for future behavior, not describing the past.
