[JLPT grammar] いい仕事だから辞めないべきだ→Incorrect

Today I am going to share the homework correction quoted from my JLPT N3 course!
The student’s sentence is not correct. Can you find the mistake?

 

[Student’s sentence]

いい仕事だから、辞めないべきだ。

*仕事(しごと)
辞(や)める



 

[My correction]

いい仕事だから、辞めないべきだ。
→いい仕事だから、「辞めるべきではない」。
It’s a good job and you shouldn’t quit.

The negative form of べきだ(should, must) is べきではない, but not ないべきだ.
You can also say べきじゃない in casual conversations.

How to make;
Verb[dictionary-form]+べきではない

plain style
辞めるべきではない
=辞めるべきじゃない

polite style
辞めるべきではありません
=辞めるべきじゃありません

×辞めないべきだ

 

I hope it helps you.😊

 

In the JLPT course, all lessons come with homework, if you submit your homework, I will reply with corrections.
I can break down the Japanese grammar and point out mistakes, explaining the structure and nuances of Japanese in an easy-to-understand way.
You can also ask me any questions as much as you want. I will teach you until you get it!
