Today, I am going to share a homework correction from my JLPT Course! The student’s sentence is not correct. Can you find the mistake?

 

[Student’s sentence]

 

昨日は映画を見たり、買い物しました。

*きのうはえいがをみたり、かいものしました。
Kinou wa eiga o mitari, kaimono shimashita.

[My correction]

昨日は映画を見たり、買い物しました。

→昨日は映画を見たり、買い物したりしました。
Kinou wa eiga o mitari, kaimono shitari shimashita.

Yesterday, I watched a movie and did some shopping.

 

When you want to list two or more activities as examples, use the pattern 「〜たり〜たりする」. This involves repeating 「〜たり」 for each activity and ending the list with the verb 「する」.

 

Examples:

週末は散歩したり、料理したりします。
Shuumatsu wa sanpo shitari, ryouri shitari shimasu.
On weekends, I go for walks and cook, among other activities.

 

今日は図書館に行ったり、カフェで勉強したりしました。
Kyou wa toshokan ni ittari, kafe de benkyou shitari shimashita.
Today, I went to the library and studied at a café, among other things.

 

 

I hope my explanation helps you.😊
