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 pre-advanced learners (JLPT N2).
Can you choose the correct answer?
[Practice Question]
A: レポート、出した？
B: (＿＿)出したよ。
*A: レポート、だした？
B: (＿＿)だしたよ。
1 とっくに
2 まもなく
3 今(いま)に
4 もうすぐ

[Answer]
A: レポート、出した？
B: (1 とっくに)出したよ。
A: Did you turn in the report?
B: I turned it in ages ago.
とっくに
= long ago, a long time ago
It expresses that something happened quite a while back.
In this sentence, the speaker already submitted the report, so we need a word that shows it’s already done.
Only “とっくに” fits.
Other Choices:
まもなく
= soon
今に
= before long / any moment now
もうすぐ
= very soon
These all refer to future actions.
But here, B-san is talking about something that’s already finished.
So they don’t match the meaning.
I hope this explanation helps! 😊
