Commonly Misused Japanese

On the home page, you will see an organized column featuring commonly misused Japanese. These articles will not show you how to use the terms correctly per se. Instead, each article will show you how Japanese learners tend to make mistake using that specific grammar point. Rather than only learn from correct examples, you can learn ways not to use certain grammar that you may have used incorrectly in the past. Don't worry. These mistakes are common!

Symbol Legend

❌ = incorrect—either grammatically or because it doesn't sound natural (sometimes both).
✅ = correct grammar use.
⭐ = incorrect—sometimes not technically grammatically incorrect—but still wrong. These marked examples will usually be expanded upon further to explain why exactly the corrected sentence is better and will go more in-depth with explanations.
