解説かいせつBackground

About JLPT N5 grammar

JLPT N5 grammar is the foundation of Japanese: the particles, verb conjugations, and sentence frames every later level builds on. This list covers all 39 N5 points in Yomimaru's taxonomy — from です／ます politeness and the core particles to patterns like 〜てもいい and 〜ながら — each with its English gloss.

The fastest way to make N5 grammar stick is to meet it outside the textbook. 8 of the 39 points currently link to a shelf of free graded texts that use the pattern in real sentences, with furigana on every kanji, tap-to-look-up, and an English breakdown; more shelves unlock as the library grows.
