Features: This book covers all grammatical entries in the Japanese Proficiency Test (N1·N2) test standards; corrects misused expressions, effectively distinguishes similar sentence patterns, and includes a combination of past Japanese Proficiency Test questions. The grammatical entries in this book encompass all Japanese sentence patterns listed in the "Japanese Language Proficiency Test (Grammar)" question-setting standards published by the Japan Foundation and the Japan Society for International Educational Exchange. It can be said that it is a grammar reference book for N1·N2 Japanese sentence patterns. It is suitable for readers preparing for the Japanese Proficiency Test (N1·N2) and also for various Japanese learners. At the same time, it can also serve as a grammar reference book for teachers. This book categorizes all sentence patterns according to "function" and "connotation." In recent Japanese learning reference books, the terms "function" and "connotation" are often used. In fact, the concepts of "function" and "connotation" were introduced from Western linguistics. "Function" refers to the behaviors reflected by language; "connotation" refers to the ideas expressed by people through language. The two are closely linked, and it is difficult to discuss one aspect in isolation from the other. Therefore, when learning a specific grammatical entry in Japanese, one must accurately grasp its "function" and "connotation," as well as the context of use, continuation methods, restrictions on vocabulary, and verb endings, etc. Only in this way can one accurately understand and use this grammatical entry. The Japanese linguistics community has been researching "function" and "connotation" and applying them to Japanese teaching and textbook development. Currently, grammatical functional words have become an important part of assessing Japanese proficiency.
