I just want to know if the following sentence is correct: Suki San wa himanatoki ni hon wo yomimasu. Demo, chotto chiisai sugimasukara, gakkou ni isshou ni ikimasen.
So what I'm trying to say is that Suki San likes to read books in her spare time, but is too small to go to school with me. Is this correct?
Thanks :)
 
There is no "likes" in the first sentence.
"Chiisai sugimasu" is grammatically wrong. Check again your previous thread.
You need to mention who the one who goes to school with Suki-san is.

Ah, okay. Thank you very much!

So would it be chiisa sugimasu or do I need a different word in place of sugimasu?
 
Be careful: "isshou ni" (一生に) is very different to "issho ni" (一緒に). Using the former expresses that Suki will never go to school in her lifetime. Vowel/consonant length makes all the difference in Japanese, and making mistakes can not only lead to misunderstandings but also offending people (e.g. by inadvertently calling an obasan "obaasan"). So pay attention to this during your speech.

(Or, of course, keep "isshou" as a pun on the example sentence and change the surrounding text to explain why Suki will never go to school)
