Konnichiwa, it’s Chika Sensei.
Today, I’m sharing a practice from my exclusive course.
This one’s for pre-advanced learners (JLPT N2).

[Answer]
よけいなことを言った(3 ばかりに)、母が怒ってしまった。
Just because I said something unnecessary, my mother got angry.
〜たばかりに
= Just because ~ / Only because ~
→ One small reason caused a bad result.
→ It often shows regret.
In this sentence, the speaker regrets saying something unnecessary.
That made his/her mother angry.
So, we choose ばかりに to show:
“If I didn’t say that, my mother wouldn’t be angry.”
Other choices:
たびに
= every time, whenever
→ Used for things that happen many times.
ごとに
= each time, every
→ Also used for repeated actions.
ところに
= when ~ happens, something else happens at the same time
→ Talks about timing, not the reason.
I hope this explanation helps! 😊
