Quotation sentences

[Dante17]

Hi there again. I've been starting quotation sentences ( but these sentences are mainly thoughts) and would like someone to mark them

1) I think professor yamashita is good looking.

2) I think this woman is Mary's Japanese teacher

3) I think professor yamashita reads many books

My answers:

1) yamashita sensei wa kirei da to omoimasu

2) Kono onna no hito wa Meari san no nihongo no sensei da to omoimasu

3) Yamashita sensei wa takusan hon wo yomu to omoimasu



Thank you!

the third one

3) Yamashita sensei wa takusan no hon wo yomu to omoimasu

edit: Just like Toritori said below, do not use kirei for men, "kakkoii" or "hansamu" aremore suitable words

I did better than I expected then thank you!

"Takusan hon wo yomu" is also correct. You can use both "takusan" and "takusan no". "Takusan" works as an adverb when used without "no". (It's similar to "to read books a lot" vs "to read many books".)

As for #1, "kirei" is usually not used when professor yamashita is a man.

"Takusan hon wo yomu" is also correct. You can use either "takusan" or "takusan no". "Takusan" works as an adverb when used without "no". (It's similar to "to read books a lot" vs "to read many books".)

Oh, I always thought that "takusan" without "no" had to be used right before a verb.

OP did it very well then.

"Hon wo takusan yomu" is also correct, of course.
