JLPT3: [verb] + 続ける


日本語: [verb (base 2)] 続ける。
日本語: [verb (base 2)] 続く。
English: To continue doing...

We've now looked at how to say 'start something', 'suddenly start something' and 'stop something'. To complete this section, let's see how to say 'continue doing something'.

The verb 'to continue' is 続く or 続ける for intransitive and transitive sentences respectively and just like start and stop, we simple add this to base 2 of the action verb.

例文

English: Despite the weather forcast, the rain continued to fall.
Jenglish: [weather forecast][despite][rain][fall + continue]
日本語: 天気予報にもかかわらず、雨が降り続きました

English: I continued to study after the exam.
Jenglish: [exam][after][study + continue]
日本語: 試験の後で、勉強し続けました

またね。。。
