こんにちは、ちか先生です。
Konnichiwa, it’s Chika Sensei.
Today, I’m sharing a practice from my exclusive course.
This one’s for intermediate learners (JLPT N3).
Can you choose the correct answer?
[Practice Question]
あたたかくなってきたから、（＿＿）桜も咲くね。
*あたたかくなってきたから、（＿＿）さくらもさくね。
1 すでに
2 そのうち
3 いずれ
4 かつて

[Answer]
あたたかくなってきたから、（2 そのうち）桜も咲くね。
It’s getting warmer, so the cherry blossoms will probably bloom soon.
そのうち means “soon” or “before long.”
It refers to the near future, not too far from now.
This sentence starts with:
あたたかくなってきたから
“Because it’s getting warm”
So it makes sense to say:
そのうち桜も咲くね
The cherry blossoms will bloom soon
Other Choices:
すでに
= already
いずれ
= someday (in the far future)
Not appropriate when you expect something to happen soon.
かつて
= once (in the past)
I hope this explanation helps! 😊
