Japanese Language 「Adjectives and Adverbs」 「Adj pred + から・Kara」 ”Because," "so" As an adjectival predicate, the particle kara is used as a conjunction. The kara clause (the subordinate clause) expresses a reason or cause as interpreted by the speaker. If the predicate of the main clause is past tense, the tense of the kara clause must be either present or past (example 1). Normally, the plain style of speech is used with the subordinate clause, but the masu form may be used with very polite speech (example 2). Examples: 部屋がきたない/きたなかったから、掃除しました。 Heya ga kitanai/kitanakatta kara, sōji shimashita. Because the room was dirty, I cleaned it. 午後は忙しくありませんから、遊びに来てください。 Gogo ha isogashiku arimasen kara, asobi ni kite kudasai. I am not busy in the afternoon, so please come visit. かれはゴルフに熱心だから、毎日練習している。 Kare wa gorufu ni nesshin da kara, mainichi renshū shite iru. He is enthusiastic about golf, so he practices every day. Hope this helps! じゃまたね! °˖ ✧◝(○ ヮ ○)◜✧˖ ° こゆうきあいはら °˖ ✧◝(○ ヮ ○)◜✧˖ °
