Let's learn grammar「~ませんか？」

Hello everyone!
It's time to learn Japanese grammar!
In this lesson, we'll learn how to use ''～ませんか？''.
It's not difficult at all.
Let's have a look. :)







 ～ませんか？ is the expression for offering something.
It's a similar expression to ''Would you like to ～with me/together'' in English.
Here is a tip. ''～しませんか？'' basically includes the meaning of ''with me'' or ''together''.
As for example,
今日、勉強しませんか？ 　(Would you lke to study ( together ) today?)
This expression is quite polite and formal as same as In English.
Let's have a look how to canjugate. :)


Conjugation is quite simple and the same way for connecting to ます.
How to connect verbs to ます.

ru-verb and u-verb
'ru-verb' connects to 「ませんか？」without 'ru'.
「見る」　Miru  → Mi + ませんか？　= Miませんか？ 　　「見ませんか？」

'u-verb' connects to 「ませんか？」 without 'u' and adding 'i'.
「歩く」　Aruku  → Aruk + i + ませんか？　=Arukiませんか？　　「歩きませんか？」

Let me give you some more examples.
ru-verb
「寝る」 N E R U →  Ne + ませんか？  = Neませんか？　　　「寝ませんか？」
「起きる」 O K I R U → Oki + ます = Okiます　　「起きませんか？」

u-verb
「話す」H A N A S U → Hanas + i + ませんか？ =Hanasiませんか？　「話しませんか？」
「飲む」N O M U → Nom + i + ませんか？ =Nomiませんか？　「飲みませんか？」



irregular-verb
する　　(to do)
In Japanese, there're many verbs ending in する.
That kind of verbs is always conjugated in the same way.
However, It's quite simple. Just replace uru with i.

For example,
「する」　SURU　→　S + I　+　ませんか？　＝　し　ませんか？
 
・勉強する　→　勉強　しませんか？　
　　勉強しませんか？(Would you like to study (with me)?)
・練習する　→　練習　しませんか？　
　　練習しませんか？(Would you like to practice (something with me)?)

In short, if verb ends in する it'll be always し.
It's easy enough, isn't it? :)




 That's it!
If you know basic such as conjugations and structures it should be easy. :)
Let's do some exercises!
