Japanese Language
「Sentence Structure」

De is the conjunctive form of the Japanese copula da or desu and is used when wanting to link two sentences. Its equivalent in English is and. 
NOTE: The tense of a sentence which ends with a noun followed by a copula is determined by the final form of a copula.

これはアパートで、それはホテルだ/です。
Kore wa apāto de, sore wa hoteru da/desu.
This is an apartment, and that is a hotel.


Examples:
このスカーフは絹で、そのスカーフはナイロンです。
​ Kono sukāfu wa kinu de, sono sukāfu wa nairon desu.
This scarf is silk, and that one is nylon.

かれはジャーナリストで、彼女は写真家だった。
Kare wa jānarisuto de, kanojo wa shashinka datta.
He was a journalist, and she was a photographer.

これが僕のレポートで、それは林さんのだ。
Kore ga boku no repōto de, sore wa Hayashi-san no da.
This is my report, and that is Mr. Hayashi's.

Hope this was helpful, and see you next time!

じゃまたね!
