[JLPT grammar] 社長が来るにかかわらず→Incorrect

Today I am going to share the homework correction quoted from my JLPT N2 course!
The student’s sentence is not correct. Can you find the mistake?

 

[Student’s sentence]

社長が来るにかかわらず、イベントは行われます。

*社長(しゃちょう)
来(く)る
行(おこな)われる

 



 

[My correction]

社長が来るにかかわらず、イベントは行われます。
→社長が来る「来ない」にかかわらず、イベントは行われます。
→社長が来る「かどうか」にかかわらず、イベントは行われます。
The event will take place regardless of if the president comes or not.

〜にかかわらず (regardless of, doesn’t matter whether) is often used in contrasting relationships.

Verb [dictionary-form]+[nai-form]+にかかわらず
Verb [dictionary-form]+かどうか+にかかわらず

e.g.
好き嫌いにかかわらず、仕事はしなければならない。
好きかどうかにかかわらず、仕事はしなければならない。
Like it or not, work must be done.

行く行かないにかかわらず、参加費は払ってくださいね。
行くかどうかにかかわらず、参加費は払ってくださいね。
Please pay the registration fee regardless of if you go or not.

*好(す)き
嫌(きら)い
仕事(しごと)
行(い)く
参加費(さんかひ)
払(はら)う

 

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!
