[Answer]
きのう、早く(2 寝よう)と思ったけど、なかなか寝られなかった。
I thought I’d go to bed early yesterday, but I had trouble falling asleep.
〜ようと思う
To express your intention or decision, use:
Volitional-form of a verb + と思う
寝る dictionary-form
寝よう volitional form
寝ようと思う
= “I thought I would…” or “I intended to…”
In this sentence, the speaker wants to say:
“I thought, ‘I’m going to sleep!’ but I couldn’t fall asleep.”
That’s why 「寝よう」 is the correct choice.
Other options:
寝ろ
Imperative (command) form. It does not express the speaker’s own intention.
寝るつもり
〜つもり already means “intend to” or “plan to,” similar to 〜と思う.
You cannot use both together.
Correct example: 寝るつもりだったけど…
寝てしまった
〜てしまった expresses something already finished or completed.
I hope this explanation helps! 😊
