Hi, if I was to use informal forms of adjectives with です added for politeness, does this still sound polite to the Japanese ear? I don't want to sound like a textbook but I also don't want to sound crude.
For example:
昨日、仕事は面白かったです。 <- this is considered polite, right
昨日、仕事は面白くありませんでした。<- so why spend time practising this form
昨日、仕事は面白くなかったです。<- when this form is easier and probably sounds more natural anyway.
I know this seems a simple question but I'm just trying to find better use of my time so that I can get to speaking quicker and not sound like a tourist.
