Konnichiwa, it’s Chika Sensei.
Today, I’m sharing a practice from my exclusive course. This one’s for intermediate learners (JLPT N3)! Can you answer correctly?
[Practice Question]
家を出た（＿＿）、大雨が降ってきた。
*いえをでた（＿＿）、おおあめがふってきた。
1 たびに
2 からには
3 ごとに
4 とたん

[Answer]
家を出た（4 とたん）、大雨が降ってきた。
No sooner had I left the house than it started raining heavily.
〜たとたん = as soon as / right after
It describes something that happens immediately after another action.
From:
Verb in た-form ＋ とたん
So this sentence means:
“As soon as I left the house, it started pouring.”
That’s why the correct answer is とたん.
[Other Choices]
たびに
= every time ~ happens
→ but you don’t leave the house every time it rains!
ごとに
= once per ~ / every ~
→ This doesn’t make sense with a one-time event like rain.
からには
= now that / since ~
→“Since I left the house, it naturally started raining”? That sounds strange!
I hope this explanation helps! 😊
