Today I am going to share the homework correction quoted from my JLPT N4 course!
The student’s sentence is not correct. Can you find the mistake?

 

[Student’s sentence]

犬を飼うと、毎日いっしょに遊びます。

*いぬをかうと、まいにちいっしょにあそびます。

[My correction]

犬を飼うと、毎日いっしょに遊びます。
→犬を飼ったら、毎日いっしょに遊びます。
If I get a dog, I will play with it every day.

〜たら can express time sequence like “after…/and then….”, but not 〜と.
If you want to say, “If I get a dog, then I am going to play with it every day,” then you should use 〜たら.
The basic meaning of 「Aと、B」 is that whenever you do A, B happens, it is not appropriate to use for your sentence.

e.g.
◎宿題(しゅくだい)をしたら、寝(ね)ます。
I do my homework and then go to bed.

×宿題をすると、寝ます。

◎春(はる)になると、さくらがさきます。
When spring comes, cherry blossoms bloom.
(It is a natural phenomenon and always happens.)

 

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!
