N4 Grammar: Using temiru, teoku, teshimau

In this N4 Grammar video, I go over how to use temiru, teoku, and teshimau. These can be used with the te-form in Japanese to talk about trying to do something, preparing for something, or completing something. The Japanese word shimau is often used in the expression しまった which means 'oh shoot' in Japanese. Do you know how to use these in a sentence? Check out the video to learn more.

Do you know a fellow student that is interested in Japanese? I'm sure he or she would love it if you sent them a link to this video and helped them out.
