Verb connections

The plain past form appears constantly in stories, diary-style writing, and less formal narration.
Desire and purpose
Say what you want, where you are heading, and why.
The たい form
Use the たい form to say that you want to do something.
から for reason and に行く for purpose
Japanese often uses から to explain why and a movement verb plus に to show what action the movement is for.
Comparison and routine expansion
Compare, list, and broaden simple daily Japanese.
Comparisons with より and ほど
Japanese can compare one thing to another directly with より and also express degree with ほど.
たり...たりする
Use たり...たりする to list representative actions instead of giving a complete sequence.
