Reflection of When Movie
I just finished watching the movie about "when" in Japanese.
The video makes sense, and I think that I understand how the grammar works. The video helped me understand the reasoning behind why the grammar is the way that it is, which is something I did not understand in class.
However, for practical writing and speaking purposes, I have a different way of knowing which to use. Just based on intuition, the grammar seems backwards of what I would expect. So, to me, I know that when I need to say that something happened BEFORE something else, I would think to use past tense, but I need to do the opposite. Therefore, I use the PRESENT tense. The opposite is true as well.
But it is helpful to know and understand why the grammar is this way, which the video explained well. That helps clarify which to use and when.
