Thank you for the in-depth explanation, ColinHowell!
I didn’t know there are some grammar differences.
I will read the article. Thank you very much.
Hello, I may not understand English very well and I may lack words but I will try to understand you.
If you have questions about my post or Japanese customs, don't hesitate to ask.
