GrammarBook N5: ~ましょう

  • 12 Jan, 2026
  • Com 0
N5-G-031

~ましょう (Let’s do)

Core / Suggestion

👀 Layer A: Visual Guide (直感理解)

📝 Quick Summary (まとめ)

「一緒に~しよう」と誘(さそ)ったり、提案(ていあん)したりするときに使います。英語の “Let’s” に近いです。
Use this pattern to make a suggestion or invitation (“Let’s do…”). It replaces “masu” with “mashou”.

Structure: [Verb Stem] + ましょう (mashou).

🔗 Connected Grammar (関連文法):

  • N5-G-032: ~ませんか (Won’t you? – Politer)
  • N5-G-015: Verb Groups (Masu Stem)

🔍 Layer B: Deepening (深掘り)

💡 Raya’s Hack (攻略法)

「ましょう」は積極的(せっきょくてき)!
「行きましょう!」は「行こうよ!」という明るい提案です。
もし、相手が「いいよ」と言うか自信がないときは、「~ませんか(行きませんか?)」を使ったほうが丁寧(ていねい)だよ。

“Mashou” is positive and active. Use it when you think the answer will be “Yes”. If you are unsure or want to be polite, use “Masenka” (Won’t you?) instead.

🚧 Joy’s Mistake (よくある間違い)

Scene: Joy invites Ken to eat.

Joy: 「食べる ましょう!」
(Taberu mashou!)

❌ Wrong!

Why?

辞書形(じしょけい)「食べる」に「ましょう」はつきません。「ます形」の「ます」を取ってつけます。
正解は「食べましょう」です。

You cannot attach “mashou” to the Dictionary Form. Remove “masu” from “Tabemasu” and add “mashou”. Correct: “Tabemashou”.
