Yoshi, 你好。这两个“了”的意思不一样。

1.in the end of the sentence: something happened or will happen .

大概是忘了我这个老朋友了吧。The guy think you maybe forget him.

下雨了。it began to rain.

2. 了 after the verb means: have done tense. 忘了

下了雨。 it rained.

So the 1st/3rd is ok. But 2nd 大概是忘我了吧。“忘我” is a word：forget myself.

Vera老师，你好。谢谢你说明。我也看文法的书，觉得＂了＂的用法很复杂！

日本語はどうやって勉強していますか？お互いがんばりましょう！

Ｖｅｒａ老师，你好。我想问你一下。
“结帐的时候大家都争着买单。”
你这样说的时候，“着”有什么意思？
“结账的时候大家都争买单。”也可以说吗？

verazxl

对不起,我回答晚了。

着的用法是这样的：Verb1 着 Verb2 。表示Verb2的方式。（how you do the verb2)

争着买单。争=verb1 买单=verb2. 争（struggle) 。大家怎么买单呢？大家争着买单。

Another example: 坐着看书。怎么看书？坐着看书。

笑着走开、哭着回家……

你明白了吗？

Yoshi先生，这是你的新课程，我们明天开始学习吧。

你好，Vera老师。谢谢你recommendation。
我有一条问题。请你帮我理解。
"这么久都不联系我，大概是忘了我这个老朋友了吧。"
In this sentence, "了" appears twice, but how do I understand this grammatically? For example, can I say like below as well?
１．大概是忘了我了吧
２．大概是忘我了吧
３．大概是忘了我吧
谢谢你的帮忙！

verazxl
