[JLPT grammar] かっこいいでやさしいです→Who’s going back?
Today I am going to share the homework correction quoted from my JLPT N5 course!
The student’s sentence is not correct. Can you find the mistake?
[Student’s sentence]
私の父は、かっこいいでやさしいです。
*私(わたし)
父(ちち)

[My correction]
私の父は、かっこいいでやさしいです。
→私の父は、かっこよくてやさしいです。
My father is cool/handsome and kind/nice.
かっこいい is an i-adjective.
To create te-form of an i-adjective, you should remove the い ending from the i-adjective and replace it with く and add て.
おおきい→おおきくて
But いい is an exception, the te-form of いい is よくて. (Because the original word of いい is よい.)
かっこいい→かっこよくて
te-form becomes で if it is a na-adjective or a noun.
べんり→べんりで na-adj
先生(せんせい)→先生で noun
I hope my explanation 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!
