Long page with notes about Japanese grammar. No claim is made for either originality or completeness in these notes.

This summary of some basic Japanese grammar has been derived from the Japanese grammar text books that were used at Swinburne University when I was studying Japanese there in the 1980s. Supplements Keith Smillie's introduction to Japanese grammar.

There is quite a lot of kanji in the examples, so I have added furigana to the ones a beginner might not recognize. The Swinburne course never used romaji. (The astute reader will note a certain Australian bias in the examples.)
