Answers and Explanations
- と考えられていますExplanation:
「〜と考えられている」 (to kangaerarete iru) is used to present an opinion or theory that is widely held or considered. Construction: Plain form sentence (often ending in だ for nouns/na-adj) + と考えられている.
- でできていますExplanation:
「～でできている」 (de dekite iru) is used to state the materials or ingredients something is made from. The particle 「で」 marks these components. Construction: Ingredients (Noun) + でできている.
- 食べさせられましたExplanation:
「～させられました」 (saseraremashita) is the polite past tense of the causative passive. For Group 2 (ichidan) verbs like 食べる (taberu), the causative passive is 食べさせられる (tabesaserareru). It means 'to be made to do something'. In this sentence, 「食べさせられました」 means 'was made to eat'. The pattern is: [Person who was forced] は/が [Forcer] に [Object] を [Verb in causative passive form].
- 以上Explanation:
「以上」 (ijou) means 'more than or equal to' or 'at least'. In this context, it indicates that the duration of the meeting is expected to be two hours or possibly longer. Construction: Duration + 以上.
- だんだんExplanation:
「だんだん」(dandan) means 'gradually' or 'step by step'. It shows a progressive change occurring over time, such as someone growing taller. It is often used with expressions indicating change, like 「〜く なる」 (to become ~).
- 何冊かExplanation:
「なん〜か」 (nan~ka) is used with a counter to express an approximate, usually small, quantity. 「何冊か」 (nansatsu ka) uses the counter 冊 (satsu) for books and means 'some books' or 'a few books'.
- 話すなExplanation:
The verb dictionary form + な (e.g., 話すな - hanasu na) is used to express a direct prohibition, meaning "Don't do [verb]". In this context, 「話すな」 means "Don't talk," which is a rule in the library.
- の後でExplanation:
「Noun + の後で」 (Noun no ato de) means 'after [Noun]'. It is used when an action follows an event or time represented by a noun. 「晩ごはん」 (dinner) is a noun, so 「の」 is needed before 「後で」.
- おきにExplanation:
「～おきに」 (oki ni) signifies 'at intervals of ~' or 'every ~'. When used with a measure of distance like 「１０メートル」, it means that something occurs at each specified interval. Construction: Distance/Time + おきに.
- あいだにExplanation:
「あいだに」 (aida ni) means 'during'. It is used to indicate that an action (traveled with family) took place within a specific period (summer vacation). The pattern for this usage is [Noun の] あいだに.
