[Common Mistakes] 〜そうportion is conjugated the same way as na-adjectives.
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]
おもしろそう映画ですね、見たいです。
*おもしろそうえいがですね、みたいです。

おもしろそう映画ですね、見たいです。
→おもしろそうな映画ですね、見たいです。
It sounds like an interesting movie, I’d like to see it.
〜そう portion is conjugated the same way as na-adjectives.
〜そう｜だ plain-style
〜そう｜じゃない plain-style, negative
〜そう｜です polite-style
〜そう｜じゃありません polite-style, negative
〜そう｜な[Noun] noun modification
おもしろそう｜な[映画＝Noun]
e.g.
・やさしそうな先生(せんせい)
He/she seems to be a kind and gentle teacher.
・たいへんそうな仕事(しごと)
It seems like a tough job.
・高(たか)そうな服(ふく)
These clothes look expensive.
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!
