Any pros have any effective way to know when to use the particles Wa and Ga? How would I know which part of the sentence that should be a topic or a subject? Seems pretty confusing...

"Work" is shigato izzit? Te form is what?

"Work" is "shigoto" but that's a noun, and you're looking for a verb, which is "hataraku". So you can say "hataraite kudasai" if you want someone to work. If you want a machine to work (i.e. not be spoilt, function properly), then you might want to say "ugoite kudasai" (please move).

if you are doing bunka E1 homework, I think shigoto is the correct one, i did hataraku and got a X mark....

u can always add a suru to make it into a verb. shigoto suru -> shigoto shi te kudasai

Ya. That's the correct ans for Ele1 homework.

its possible.
Japanese for Busy People series is a good start but it may not train your conversational skills well as books is still books

To all 先輩,

Requesting help for 受身動詞. What's the difference between using 受身動詞 and the original 動詞, in terms of meaning, besides usage to indicate unpleasant situation? I don't quite understanding the whole thing.

手伝ってくれて下さい.

本当にありがとうございます

Minna no Nihongo

Hi all,
I am starting my immediate with Bunka soon, i am actually searching for a book to have a better understanding as i move along (Bunka pace is fast man)

Minna no Nihongo - there are many versions i saw at Kinokuniya, so confusing. Got workbook, English grammar translation, Jap version textbook, some got CD some without, got I & II. Quite expensive so cannot buy wrongly. Asked the staff there but they dun seem to know much.

Which version should i be looking at?
