1.) Mr. Tanaka will go to the library.

2.) My friend will come to Japan.

3.) Mr. Suzuki listens to music at home.

4.) I speak Japanese at home.

5.) I don't eat lunch at school.


If you can't translate them all, then even just one will help greatly. Trying to get the idea of Japanese sentence structure and word placement. Thank you!

4) 5)

(The subject "I" can be omitted.)

I know 'to go' is 'ikimasu', and I know how to change the verb into negative and past tense, but how do I change the verb into future tense? As in "I WILL go to the store" rather than "I go to the store".
Thanks!

In most circumstances, there is no distinction between habitual actions (simple present tense) and future tense. The difference can be understood by context. If that is unsettling to you, then you can add a time word which indicates future (tomorrow, next week, etc).
