こんにちは、ちか先生です。
Konnichiwa, it’s Chika Sensei.
Today, I’m sharing a practice question for JLPT prep.
This one’s for upper beginners (JLPT N4)!
Can you choose the correct answer?

3 もうすぐ
4 さいきん

[Answer]
(4 さいきん)、スミスさんは 学校に 来ません。
Recently, Smith-san hasn’t been coming to school.
来ません is the non-past negative form.
It shows a current state.
It means this situation (not coming) has continued for a period of time.
さいきん means “recently” or “lately.”
It describes a time period from “a short while ago until now.”
This word fits perfectly with the meaning of 来ません.
→ “Recently, (he) hasn’t been coming.”
That’s why さいきん is the correct answer.
Other Choices:
✖ 1. さっき
= a short while ago
→ Used for past actions only
✖ 2. やっと
= finally
→ Used when something you waited for happens
✖ 3. もうすぐ
= soon
→ Used for future actions
I hope this explanation helps! 😊
