こんにちは、ちか先生です。
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 choose the correct answer?

[Answer]
ドラマは見ますが、映画は（3 めったに）見ません。
I watch TV dramas, but I rarely watch movies..
めったに（〜ない）
＝ almost never / rarely
「めったに」 always comes with a negative verb.
It means something almost never happens.
In this sentence, the speaker says:
「ドラマは見ますが、映画は…見ません」
They want to say:
“I do watch dramas, but I don’t watch movies very often (not zero, but very rarely).”
That’s why めったに is the best choice.
Other choices:
こんなに
= so much, this much
まあまあ
= so-so, not bad, average
いくらか
= a little, some
These expressions are used with positive verbs.
They are not used with negative forms.
I hope this explanation helps! 😊
