Are you talking to Duo or me? Moreover, it doesn't hurt to ask Having masaegu (or other knowledgeable people) say "Yup, that's right" or "No, that's wrong. It's actually ~~~" can save a Japanese learner a lot of trouble. Also, it ensures they aren't learning things incorrectly, thus building upon bad information. Y'know? A native speaker's advice beats 'guesslating' all day.
