This week we learned how to conjugate the causative form. For る verbs, you simply take off る and add させる. It was fun to learn about all the things my classmates' parents made them do while practicing our grammar. For う verbs, the u syllable becomes an a syllable and せる is added. する becomes させる and くる becomes こさせる. It's easy enough with verbs I'm familiar with, but I have to be extra careful to remember if the new vocabulary words are う verbs or る verbs.

In the past week, we've learned how to use 間に, adjective +する, and てほしい. We also went over this chapter's kanji. I had the most fun coming up with ways to use てほしい since I've only been able to talk about what I want to do myself for quite a while. My greatest challenge was learning so much at once without mixing things up. Luckily, I'm used to absorbing lots of information at once, so reviewing regularly should be enough to keep everything straight.
Forming adjective +する phrases works much like forming adjective +なる phrases. For い adjectives, the い is dropped and くする is added. >高い, for instance, would become 高くする. しずかな becomes しずかにする. For な adjectives, な is dropped and にする is added. The irregular adjective いい becomes よくする. All of these describe the action of changing the qualities of something (the direct object) so that it becomes more like the adjective in question.

This week we learned how to use 〜てある to describe things that have been done and continued practicing using passive sentences. It's not too difficult since it's just changing the endings of verbs, but sometimes I have to think for a minute to remember passive/active verb pairs to figure out if I should use 〜てある. Once I get back into the swing of things, it shouldn't be too hard, though.
With 〜てある, I conjugate the て form of a transitive verb and add ある。For example, to say that the door has been opened, I would use the verb あける and 〜てある: ドアがあけてあります。To say that the door is opening, I would use the verb あく and 〜ている: ドアが開いています。
Making a skit was fun, since not only did we get to apply what we're learning to a realistic situation, we got to think about what would be the best way to say things in that situation. As we learn grammar structures that have more specific connotations, it's important to distinguish between subtleties in meaning.
