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?
[Practice Question]
門が（＿＿）いたので、犬が入ってきました。
*もんが（＿＿）いたので、いぬがはいってきました。
1 しまって
2 たって
3 わって
4 ひらいて
▼
▼
▼
[Answer]
門が（4 ひらいて）いたので、犬が入ってきました。
The gate was open, so a dog came in.
In this sentence:
犬が入ってきました
The dog could come in.
Why?
Because the gate was open.
ひらく（開く）
= to open (intransitive)
ひらいている
= It is open (state)
ひらいていた
= It was open (past state)
So the best choice is ひらいて.
✖ Other Choices:
1 しまって（閉まる）
= was closed
→ The dog couldn’t come in.
2 たって（立つ）
= was standing
→ We don’t use this for gates.
3 わって（割る）
= to break (something) (transitive verb)
So “門がわって” is not correct.
I hope this explanation helps! 😊
