[JLPT grammar] How to say “I will study every day so that I can pass the JLPT.”
Today I am going to share the homework correction quoted from my JLPT N3 course!
The student’s sentence is not correct. Can you find the mistake?
[Student’s sentence]
JLPTに合格するように、毎日勉強します。
*JLPTにごうかくするように、まいにちべんきょうします。

[My correction]
JLPTに合格するように、毎日勉強します。
→JLPTに合格できるように、毎日勉強します。
I will study every day so that I can pass the JLPT.
ように expresses an expectation of realizing objective.
So, the sentence should be;
Your future state [=non-volitional verb]ように、…
non-volitional verb
＝potential form, intransitive verb (things you can’t decide for yourself.)
◎合格できる(potential-form=your state)ように
×合格する(dictionary-form=your will) ように
e.g.
漢字(かんじ)が覚(おぼ)えられるように、カードを作(つく)
I made cards to help you remember the kanji.
いつでも映画(えいが)が見(み)られるように、
I became a member of Netflix so that I can watch movies anytime I want.
I hope my explanation helps you. 😊
In the JLPT course, all lessons come with homework, if you submit your homework, I will reply with corrections.
I can break down the Japanese grammar and point out mistakes, explaining the structure and nuances of Japanese in an easy-to-understand way.
You can also ask me any questions as much as you want. I will teach you until you get it!
