▶︎ Sensei, even if you do five sit-ups, it’s not gonna
help you lose weight, you know. You need to do proper exercise.
Akino Roza here.

▶︎ Again?

▶︎ Yes!

describe – これは「描写する」という意味で使われています。
👉 appearance – これは、appear という動詞の名詞形です。
「外観」という意味をもっています。

④ but it appears to be covered in gold.
👉 it appears to be 〜 「〜のように見える」
appear(s) to 〜 – しっかりとこの形を覚えておきましょう。

Practice with Chris

▶︎ OK, guys. You’re ready to practice the key sentence?
Well, you know, a lot of learners tell me that the passive 
-受動態- is really difficult.
But actually it’s exactly the same as the verb “to be” – is, was,
has been, etc plus an adjective.
※”He is happy,” for example.
In stead of that, in stead of the adjective,
you just put the past participle – 過去分詞 -. Let’s try together.

An alien spacecraft has been spotted in orbit around Mars.

OK? Simple, simple, simple in your mind.
Let’s try. One last time.

An alien spacecraft has been spotted in orbit around Mars.

Wonderful! Well done, guys,
朝めし前だよ!

Grammar In Action  – com[pan]y について

 ▶︎ By the way, “com[pan]y” is an interesting word.
If you look at it closely, you’ve got [p・a・n] – pan, which everyone
understands to be “bread,” right?
So call together, it’s sharing bread with somebody.
Therefore, a friend like a companion as well exists, OK?

 

 

 

 

Ending

Onishi
▶︎ Hey, Roza. Do you really think that a man is known by
the company he keeps?

Roza
▶︎ Yeah, definitely, which is why you’re a really lucky guy, 
you’re always surrounded by me and Chris.
We give a good impression of you.

Onishi
▶︎ Umm.

Chris
▶︎ I hope it’s not true, because I spend time with you, Sensei!
