Well it's a shame you didn't bother to answer mine. I haven't been learning for that long, so I'm not sure about the viability of my methods yet, I'll share them if they end up proving useful.
Answering yours would have been pointless, as already demonstrated by your inability to correctly understand the answer you were subsequently given.
I just get a little tired of people who know absolutely nothing, who are either too smart, too cheap, or too something else to make use of existing learning materials and don't seem to realize that their "unique" learning methods consist essentially of having us type up
just especially for them individualized explanations/lessons...the same thing they would find in a textbook if they didn't consider themselves too special to use one.
We're here to help others understand things they're having trouble with learning Japanese, not to write anew individualized lessons from scratch based on whatever random phrase or sentence somebody drags in from a comic book.
Your sentence fragment would require us to write you lessons on:
1. Particles in general
2. The use of で (you got the wrong one)
3. The use of が
4. Verb conjugation
5. Modifying clauses
Get off your I'm-too-special-for-a-textbook thing, plunk down a few bucks, and start from learning the basics in a sensible manner and order if you seriously want to learn Japanese. Your current plan is a recipe for wasting time and spinning your wheels.
You haven't been with us to notice it, but Toritoribe's answer was essentially a passive-aggressive version of what I just told you. He dropped all that stuff in your lap to let you wallow through it and on the far end be told that you haven't figured it out in order to make the same point I'm making: your special "method" won't work, is a waste of your time, and that we aren't going to be textbook replacements for you by writing lessons just for you when they already exist and you just choose to turn your nose up at them.
There, I've answered your question. Now tell me your special method for intuiting Japanese grammar. Why it failed to tell you that 導いた is the past tense of 導く would be a good start.
Tell me in what way your method would figure out the differences between the following:
飲む
飲める
飲んでいる
飲んだら
飲めば
飲みたい
飲みたくない
飲み
お飲みになる
飲まれる
飲ませる
飲ませた
飲ます
飲ました
飲みました
飲めました
飲まれたら
飲まん
飲めん
and several other variants of 飲む, all DOUBLED by the existence of the more "polite" conjugations.
There is more to learning Japanese than just figuring out how to copy-paste kanji into some sort of lookup device. You have about as much chance at figuring out Japanese grammar by your special method as the proverbial million monkeys with a million typewriters typing for a million years have of turning out the works of Shakespeare.
Now, once you get over the indignation of being talked to like that, the answer to your next question is: A commonly recommended textbook is the
Genki series. Get the accompanying workbook and audio materials as well.
And, yes, we will help you with it.
