Past Tense: Adjective vs. Verb I have some confusion about verb tense and adjective tense. Say for "the food was delicious", I think the correct translation is "たべもの は おいし かった です". But 'desu' can also be put into past tense by using 'deshita'. So it is improper to say "たべもの は おしい でした" or "たべもの は おし かった でした"? Is their any basic rule for this or does it change a lot depending on the situation?

How to say: I guess its unavoidable? きょ ”めんどくさい” まなんだ。フレーズ を つずけて まなびたい。なに わ ナチュラル フレーズ です か？"Perhaps it can't be helped" と "I guess it is unavoidable" は じょず おもいます。 にほんご で どの よう に いう の です か？ Today I learned the word 'mendokusai'. I would like to learn a phrase to follow this. What is a natural phrase? I think 'Perhaps it can't be helped...' and 'I guess it is unavoidable' are good. How do you say this? The situation is being asked to do something I do not want to do. ありがとう ございます！
