One quick question on the pasyt/present and future tenses. - 04-26-2007, 08:03 PM

I'm currently practicing my Japanese.

One part I'm writitng is,

Oteru to Jinjou o shimashita. Omoshirou (sou) katte kara.

Would the sou in brackets work in that sentence to translate to,

"I went to a temple and shrine, because they sounded/looked interesting" ? Or would I have to add some sort of particle to join them up?

X Oteru (wrong)
O Otera (correct)
X Jinjou
O Jinja
suru = to do, shimashita = did

So it should be as follow:
Omoshirou sou ni mieru kara, Otera to Jinja ni ikimashita.
or,
Otera to Jinja ga omoshirou sou ni mieru kara, mi ni ikimashita.


Hokkaido e ikitai........

お寺と神社が面白そうですから、そこにいきました。
otera to jinja ga omosirosou desukara, soko ni iki masita.

The "sou" already has a meaning of looked/sounded, so "mieru" is not nessary.
And you could use the " soko" to instead of repeating "jinja and otera", that's mean "there".
