In Japanese, the ta-form shows the past.
But more than that, it shows what has been done.
“I spoke.” “I understood.” “I tried.”
Each ta-form is a small flag on the map of your learning journey.
When learners use the ta-form, something powerful happens.
They claim their experience, their courage, their success—however small it may seem.
Ta-form is not just grammar.
It’s a way to say: “This is part of my story.”
