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]

そのカレーはとても辛いですので、食べられません。

*そのかれーはとてもからいですので、たべられません。

[My correction]

そのカレーはとても辛いですので、食べられません。
→そのカレーはとても辛いので、食べられません。
I cannot eat that curry because it is very spicy.

Since the end of the sentence is in polite style, there is no need to use the polite style before ので.
Using polite style twice in the same sentence is too much.

If the sentence ends with ので, it is acceptable to have the polite style before ので. Because that is the only polite style.

A：カレーを食べませんか。
B：◎はい、辛いですので。（omitted 食べません）

But ので itself has a polite meaning, so it is not rude not to use the polite style.

A：カレーを食べませんか。
B：◎はい、辛いので。（omitted 食べません）

 

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!
