Lesson Point:
As you have already learned that verbes are changed to their past tense by changing “masu” to “mashita”. Verbs are now changed to their present negative form by replacing the -masu word ending with -masen.
Writing Practice – Kanji
今日(kyoo) - “今” is also pronounced “ima” and means now. When combined with “日”, it means “now day” hence today.
行く- to go
犬 – As you can see, this character was born from a standing dog with wagging tail.
