Konnichiwa, it’s Chika Sensei.

 

Today, I’m sharing a practice from my exclusive course. This one’s for Pre-Advanced learners (JLPT N2)! Can you answer correctly?

 

 

[Practice Question]

 

田中くんはスポーツ選手(__)、走るのがとても速い。

*たなかくんはスポーツせんしゅ(__)、はしるのがとてもはやい。

 

1 まであって

2 だけあって

3 ほどあって

4 しかあって

 

 

 



 

 

 

[Answer]

 

田中くんはスポーツ選手(2 だけあって)、走るのがとても速い。

As expected of an athlete, Tanaka-kun runs very fast.

 

 

〜だけあって means ‘as expected of’ or ‘no wonder because…’

It shows that a result or skill is exactly what you’d expect from someone with that background.

 

In this sentence, we want to say “Since Tanaka-kun is an athlete, it makes sense that he runs very fast.”

So, the correct answer is “2, だけあって.”

 

 

I hope this explanation helps! 😊
