授業
授業 means “class” or “lesson” here. In 授業の後に, it identifies the lesson whose end has passed. It is useful when talking about what happens during or after a lesson.
の
の links 授業 and 後 in 授業の後に, making the relation “after class.” It commonly links one noun to another to show a relationship. Use this pattern when telling someone when an activity happens.
後
後 means “after” here, in 授業の後に. The full time expression places the next activity after the lesson. Use 後 in a time expression when describing what happens following an event.
に
に marks the time point in 授業の後に: the action happens after the lesson. Here it follows 後 to complete the time expression. Use this form when stating when an activity takes place.
何
何 means “what” in 何をしますか. It asks which activity the other person does after class. Use it in a question when the thing or activity is unknown.
を
を marks 何 as the object of します in 何をしますか. It connects the thing being done with the action. Use it after the object and before the action when asking or saying what someone does.
します
します means “do” in 何をしますか. It is the polite form related to する, and here asks about an activity after class. A common reuse pattern is 何をしますか when politely asking what someone does.
か
か turns 何をしますか into a question. Here it appears at the end of the polite question. Use it at the end when asking for information in this style.
ここ
ここ means “here,” referring to the classroom location shared by the speakers. In ここに残って and ここで一緒に復習しましょう, it is used with different particles for staying and acting there. Use it when the place is understood from the conversation.
残って
残って means “stay” or “remain” in ここに残って復習します. It is related to the citation form 残る and connects staying with the following action. Use this form when saying that someone remains in a place and then does something.
復習
復習 means “review” here, as in 復習します and 復習しましょう. With します it describes reviewing, and with しましょう it becomes a suggestion to review together in this dialogue. Use it for going over lesson material again.
もう
もう adds the sense of “more” in もう少し, so the speaker asks for a little additional time. It modifies 少し in the request もう少しこの教室を使えますか. Use もう少し when asking for or describing a small additional amount or period.
少し
少し means “a little” in もう少し. Together, もう少し expresses a small amount of extra time in もう少しこの教室を使えますか. Use it when the amount or duration is small.
この
この means “this” and directly identifies 教室 in この教室. It points to a classroom that is clear in the speakers’ shared situation. Use この before a noun when referring to a nearby or already identified thing.
教室
教室 means “classroom” in この教室を使えますか. It is the place the speaker wants to use for a little longer. Use it when talking about the room where a class takes place.
使えます
使えます means “can use” in もう少しこの教室を使えますか. It is the polite potential form related to 使う, and the question asks whether using the classroom is possible. Use the pattern 教室を使えますか when politely asking about using the classroom.
も
も adds “also” or “even” in 授業の後もここにいられます, showing that staying here remains possible after the lesson as well. It highlights the added time or situation after the lesson. Use it when including an additional situation or time.
いられます
いられます means “can stay” or “can remain” in 授業の後もここにいられます. It is the polite potential form related to いる, and here it says that remaining here is possible. Use ここにいられます when telling someone they may stay in this place.
それ
それ means “that” or “it” in それを知って助かります. It points to the information just given about being able to stay after the lesson. Use it as a pronoun when the thing being discussed is already clear.
知って
知って means “knowing” in それを知って助かります. It is related to 知る and connects knowing that information with the helpful result expressed by 助かります. Use the pattern それを知って助かります when information just learned is useful.
助かります
助かります means “that is helpful” in それを知って助かります. It is related to 助かる and expresses the speaker’s relief or benefit from knowing the information. Use it when someone’s information or help makes a situation easier.
で
で marks ここ as the place where the reviewing happens in ここで一緒に復習しましょう. It indicates the location of an action. Use it when saying where an activity takes place.
は
In では、ここで一緒に復習しましょう, は is part of では, which means “then” or “well then” here. It marks a transition from the information just received to the suggestion that follows, rather than serving as a separate topic marker in this expression. Use では at the start of a response when moving on to a next step or suggestion.
一緒
一緒 means “together” in 一緒に復習しましょう. With に, it shows that the speakers will review as a group. Use 一緒に when inviting someone to do an activity with you.
しましょう
しましょう means “let’s do” or “let’s review” in 復習しましょう. It is the polite volitional form related to する and presents a suggestion for shared action. Use it after 復習 in this dialogue when proposing an activity.
