N5 Grammar · Test 26

も means 'also/too.' 田中さんも来てください means 'Tanaka-san, please come too.' The context implies others are also coming to the party, so も is natural.

• 1に marks a destination or the person receiving an action. 田中さんに来てください would mean 'Please come to Tanaka-san,' which is not the intended meaning.
• 3や means 'and' (non-exhaustive). It cannot be used to mean 'also' or to address someone.
• 4で marks means/location. 田中さんで来てください would mean 'Please come as/with Tanaka-san,' which is unnatural.

• パーティー（ぱーてぃー） — party
• 来くる — to come

The correct answer is 3 (の). The sentence is 「このぼうしは 山田さんのですか。」meaning 'Is this hat Yamada-san's?' The particle の turns 山田さん into a possessive — 'Yamada-san's (hat).' Tanaka is asking whose hat it is, and Yamada confirms with「はい。」

• 1や means 'and/or' (used in lists). It does not express possession, so「山田さんやですか」is grammatically impossible.
• 2は is the topic marker.「山田さんはですか」is ungrammatical — you cannot place は directly before ですか like this.
• 4か is a question particle, but ですか already contains the question marker. Adding another か would be redundant and ungrammatical.

• ぼうし — hat
• の (possessive) — particle indicating possession: 'X's (thing)'

The correct answer is 1 (ぐらい). 「1000円ぐらいです」means 'It's about 1000 yen.' ぐらい (also written くらい) is attached to a quantity/number to express an approximate amount — 'about/approximately.' This fits perfectly: the speaker is giving a rough estimate of the taxi fare.

• 2など means 'etc.' / 'things like.' It is used to list examples, not to express an approximate quantity.
• 3ごろ means 'around (a time)' and is used with clock times or dates (e.g. 3時ごろ). It cannot be used with money amounts.
• 4も means 'also/even/as much as.' While「1000円もです」could theoretically emphasize the amount, it is not natural here and does not convey the intended 'about 1000 yen' meaning.

• ぐらい — about, approximately (used with quantities/numbers)
• 駅えき — station

The correct answer is 3 (来週). 「また来週」means 'See you again next week.' また means 'again' and is used in farewells to say 'see you (again)…' followed by a future time word. 来週 (next week) is the most natural and common time reference when parting with someone you will see the following week.

• 1おととい means 'the day before yesterday' — a past time. You cannot say 'see you again the day before yesterday,' so this is illogical.
• 2今日 means 'today.' Saying「また今日」when parting is unnatural — if you are saying goodbye, you would not typically say 'see you again today.'
• 4今月 means 'this month.' While not strictly impossible, it is far less natural and specific than 来週 as a farewell expression, and the test expects the standard「また来週」pattern.

• また — again; see you again (in farewells)
• 来週らいしゅう — next week
• さようなら — goodbye

The correct answer is 3 (より). 「母は 父より 5さい わかいです」means 'Mother is 5 years younger than Father.' より marks the standard of comparison ('than'). The pattern is (A)は (B)より (adjective) — 'A is (adjective)-er than B.' Since Mother (50) is younger than Father (55), より is the correct comparison particle.

• 1から means 'from.' It indicates a starting point and cannot express comparison.
• 2まで means 'until/to.' It indicates an endpoint and cannot express comparison.
• 4のほうが means 'the one that… / rather.' It is used in comparative sentences, but the structure would be「母のほうが父よりわかいです」— のほうが goes with the subject being compared, not after the standard of comparison. Placing のほうが right after 父 is grammatically wrong here.

• より — than (particle marking the standard of comparison)
• わかい — young
• 母はは — (my) mother
• 父ちち — (my) father

The correct answer is 1 (を). The verb わたる (to cross) is a transitive verb that takes a direct object marked by を. はしをわたる means 'to cross a bridge.' The sentence means 'Let's cross this bridge and go to the other side.'

• 2と means 'with/and' and cannot mark the object of a transitive verb like わたる.
• 3が is the subject marker (e.g., はしがある 'there is a bridge'). It does not mark the object being crossed.
• 4の is a possessive/linking particle (e.g., このはしの長さ 'the length of this bridge'). It cannot mark the object of わたる.

• はし — bridge
• わたる — to cross (a bridge/street)
• むこう — the other side, opposite side

The correct answer is 2 (に). The pattern 「1日に3かい」means '3 times per day.' The particle に is used with frequency expressions to indicate the time frame within which an action occurs a certain number of times. So 「1日に3かい はを みがきます」= 'Father brushes his teeth 3 times a day.'

• 1が marks the subject of a verb, but here we need a particle that links the time period (1日) to the frequency (3かい). が does not express 'per' or 'in.'
• 3の connects nouns attributively (e.g., 1日の3かい would mean 'the 3 times of one day'), but it cannot express the 'per ~ times' frequency pattern.
• 4か can mean 'or' or mark a question, but neither fits here. 「1日か3かい」would mean 'one day or 3 times,' which makes no sense.

• 1日に3かい（いちにちにさんかい） — 3 times a day (frequency pattern: [time period]に[number]かい)
• はをみがく — to brush one's teeth

The correct answer is 2 (に). The sentence means 'Are there international students at this university?' This is an existence sentence (～がいます, 'there is/are'). に marks the location where someone/something exists: 大学に留学生がいます.

• 1で marks the place where an action occurs, not the location of existence. For います/あります (existence), に is required.
• 3と means 'with' or 'and,' which does not fit here.
• 4へ marks direction of movement ('to'), not a location of existence.

• に — particle marking location of existence (with います/あります)
• 留学生りゅうがくせい — international student
• 大学だいがく — university

The correct answer is 1 (の). The sentence means 'I watched an old Japanese movie.' の is the linking particle that connects two nouns: 日本 (Japan) + 古い映画 (old movie) → 日本の古い映画 ('an old movie of/from Japan').

• 2も means 'also/too.' 日本も would mean 'Japan too,' which does not connect the nouns properly.
• 3に marks location/direction/indirect object and cannot link nouns here.
• 4と means 'with/and.' 日本と would mean 'Japan and (old movie),' which is grammatically wrong for modifying a movie.

• の — linking particle connecting nouns (N1のN2)
• 古ふるい — old (thing)
• 映画えいが — movie

The correct answer is 3 (は). The sentence means 'In this area, summer is cool and winter is warm.' The pattern なつは…ふゆは… uses は to mark each season as a contrastive topic: 'summer (is cool), but winter (is warm).' This contrastive は is the natural choice.

• 1で marks means/cause or location of action. ふゆで would mean 'by means of winter' or 'in winter (action),' which does not fit an adjective predicate describing a property.
• 2を marks the direct object of a transitive verb. あたたかい is an adjective, not a transitive verb, so を is wrong.
• 4の links nouns. ふゆのあたたかい would mean 'winter's warm (something),' which is grammatically incomplete and does not fit the sentence structure.

• は — topic/contrastive particle (marks the topic of the sentence)
• 涼すずしい — cool, refreshing
• 暖あたたかい — warm
• 夏なつ — summer
• 冬ふゆ — winter
