Hey, I have a question about grammar.
So, I've been studying Japanese more and more, and my vocabulary part of Japanese is going really great.
But the grammar part isn't so good.
I think my grammar is very basic. I can learn advanced grammar online and everything, but then when I'm actually faced with a Japanese passage there's grammar that just is unfamiliar with me, and I've never seen any grammar points online concerning most of the unfamiliar grammar.
For example, I can make
貴方の部屋を掃除する前に食事するべきだ。
I'm not sure what level the grammar used in this sentence would be categorized as, but I think it's simple.
But then sentences like this
ストローを吹いてシャボン玉を作って遊ぶ子供がかいてあります 。
Does it mean, "There's a kid drawn blowing through a straw and making bubbles."?
Ah, this is a better example
どうしてなのでしょう。
I've seen it used sometimes but I can only come up that it means "why" with an added meaning of probably. For example, you're asking someone why something happened but you know that the person doesn't know for sure. So it's like "Why do you think this happened?"
So anyway, I was just wondering if you guys knew a way to study grammar, or had any tips on Japanese grammar both in written and spoken.
Thanks!
