Now up to halfway through the book, though it involved skipping a bit of a surmise of the inflections of key auxiliary and predicative/copulative verbs that had already been covered as well as a summary of all the inflections. I also skipped stuff on formality in Japanese. I decided to treat the aforementioned section as review or reference material while the info on formality as something to look over later, so now I am moving through some particles. The particles I'm most interested in are postpositions since adpositional phrases are the most basic ways of lengthening a sentence comprised of only a clause.
