文の最後につく「か」　 　「か」 at the end of a sentence

「か」 means not only “question”, but also “proposal” and “reaffirmation” . Let’s see some sample sentences!

こんにちは。おげんきですか。
「おげんきですか」の「か」は、人になにかを聞くときに使いますね。
「いそがしいですか。」「ちょっと　いいですか。」「これはいくらですか。」など、質問するときに使います。
でも、「か」は　質問するときだけ使うのでしょうか。

例えば、
「いっしょに　ご飯　食べようか。」
「ごはんのあとで、花火しようか。」
この「か」は、いっしょに何かをしようと提案したいときに使っています。

それから、
「え！きょうが　かのじょの　誕生日だったのか。わすれてたよ！」
「ああ、これか。　田中さんがおいしいって言ってたアイスクリーム。」
ここで使われている「か」は、再確認したいときに使っています。

このように文の最後につく「か」には　「質問」「提案」「再確認」の３つの使い方があります。
①	Question　質問（しつもん）
②	Proposal　提案（ていあん）
③	Reaffirmation　再確認（さいかくにん）

Habit stacking is a technique where you link a new habit or task to an existing one so it's easier to form. 

To prepare for an interview, start small by reviewing your resume after breakfast each day.

Then, build on that by following it with researching common interview questions while you commute. 

Next, add practicing answers aloud in your car or on a walk. 

Gradually increase difficulty by recording mock interviews on your phone and reviewing where you can improve. 

Soon, your routine will be: 

breakfast > resume review > research questions > practice answers > mock interview. 

Then, take it a step further. After work, fit in calling contacts for referrals during your regular exercise. 

Follow exercise with reviewing your networking and researching the company more in-depth. 
Right before bed, update your notes so it's fresh in your mind. 

Within a few weeks, all these small, connected habits will have you fully prepared without much effort since it's just an extension of your daily routine. 

Habit stacking makes interview prep seamless and ensures you put your best foot forward on the big day!

Habit Stacking for Job Interviews - Episode 42

This is an important grammar topic at the intermediate level. This short episode introduces the idea of ergative verbs. 

Ergative verbs are a set of verbs which have a third option besides being active or passive: ergative. This means they are active in form, with the receiver of the verb's action as the subject. The meaning is the same as the passive. 

The examples I use in the episode: 
The store opens at 10. 
The movie will star at 8pm. 
The music stopped. 
The weather changed.
The chicken is cooking. 
The car is reversing. 
The plants grew. 
The window broke.
