このにもつを __________ 。
とどきました
This one is wrong. It should be とどけました。 In that case, the sentence means "I delivered this luggage."このにもつをあずかって。
Right! The translation is: "Please keep this luggage temporarily." The sentence ends in gerund-form, the request form (casual-style).このにもつをおこう。
Right! The translation is: "Let's put this luggage (someplace)."-
このにもつをおろしてください。
Right! The translation is: "Please unload this luggage." Compare the following:Xをおりる
get off from X (bus or train)Xをおろす
unload X (object) or let X (person) get offSo "Let me get off here" is ここでおろして下さい。
-
__________ はずですよ。
やくにたつはずですよ。
Right! The translation is: "It is expected to be useful."学会に出るはずですよ。
Right! The translation is: "S/he is expected to attend the conference." Remember that this sentence never refers to the speaker!-
だいじょうぶ
This one is wrong. It needs な:だいじょうぶなはずです。
It should be ok. もうたのみました
This one is wrong. はず must be preceded by direct style.
-
__________ 人ですね。
めずらしい人ですね。
Right! The translation is: "S/he is a rare person, isn't s/he?"ゆうめい
This one is wrong. ゆうめい is a な-nominal: ゆうめいな人。 The negative form of this word is ゆうめいじゃない.元気
This one is wrong. 元気 is a な-nominal: 元気な人。 Remember, though, that to say "a person who was healthy" you must say 元気だった 人。このはこをくれた人ですね。
Right! The translation is: "It is the person who gave us this box, right?"
-
__________ つもりですが。
りょこうに出るつもりですが。
Right! The translation is: "I intend to make a trip, but..."-
りっぱ
This one is wrong. りっぱ is a na-nominal.りっぱなつもりですが
(personal expectation/belief: S/he believes s/he is eminent, but...) 本だなばにしまったつもりですが。
Right! The translation is: "I thought that I put it on the bookshelf, but..."
-
__________ 方がいいかもしれない。
-
そのおかしより、もっとあまいの
This one is wrong. The の in もっとあまいの is a "Nominal の" which means "one." Therefore another の (connective の) should be placed before 方. For example:この本の方がおもしろい。 (only connective の necessary)
赤い車の方が高い。 (only connective の necessary)
赤いのの方が高い。 (Nominal の and connective の necessary)It is often the case, however, that this Adj + の (Nominal) + の (connective) + 方 structure is formed simply as Adj + 方. In other words, both instances of の can be deleted. あまいのの方が いい becomes あまい方がいい. Note that you must either delete both の, or keep both の. Deleting just one does not work!
いそいだ方がいいかもしれない。
Right! The translation is: "It may be better if we hurry."もっと使いやすいの
This one is wrong. The の in もっと使いやすいの is a Nominal の, "one." Thus, you need another の:
もっと使いやすいのの方がいいかもし れない?-
たばこをすわなかった
This one is wrong. A negative sentence before 方 must be imperfective. The correct sentence should be:たばこをすわない方がい いかもしれない。
It may be better if you don't smoke.

このつくえをはこぶの __________ 。
このつくえをはこぶのをたのんだ。
Right! The translation is: "I asked to transport this desk." の in this sentence is the Nominal の.このつくえをはこぶのは、だれ?。
Right! The translation is: "About the person who transports this desk, who is it?" The の in this sentence is the anticipatory の.このつくえをはこぶのですか。
Right! The translation is: "Is it that you transport this desk?" This の is the extended predicate.このつくえをはこぶのには、もっと大きな車がいるよ。
Right! The translation is: "For carrying this desk, a bigger car is needed." This の is the Nominal の.つもりです
This one is wrong. It must be このつくえをはこぶつもりです。 The sentence このつくえをはこぶ modifies つもり. Thus, の cannot intervene.-
前にいすをならべよう
This one is wrong. このつくえをはこぶ modifies 前. Thus, の must be deleted. The correct sentence would be:このつくえをはこぶ前 にいすをならべよう。
Let's arrange the chairs before we transport this desk.A reminder: a Verbal sentence which proceeds 前 must be imperfective, direct! In addition, do you remember how to say "Let's arrange the chairs AFTER we transport the desk?" → このつくえを ならべたあとで、いすをならべちょう。
-
2、3 個とどけて __________ 。
2、3 個とどけてさしあげて。
Right! The translation is: "Please deliver 2 to 3 pieces (to sensei, supervisor, etc.) for me."-
はずです
Wrong. はず is a nominal, so its preceding modifier must be direct-form.2 、3 個とどけるはずです
It is expected that s/he will deliver 2 to 3 pieces.2、3 個とどけたはずです
It is expected that s/he delivered ~. 2、3 個とどけてもらおう。
Right! The translation is: "Let's have 2 to 3 pieces delivered." もらおう is a direct-style consultative form ~ましょう (Review the formation of the consultative form).

Right! The translation is: "It is the box which you used many times, right?"-
色々
Wrong. Iroiro is a nominal:
色々な学会 (various academic conferences)Also, note that no particle is used when IROIRO hooks up with a predicate as a manner pattern:

-
__________ を手伝ってくれませんか。

けどねえ、、。

じゃないよ。
Wrong. Instead of a regular nominal + da negative pattern, ~はずが/はない is used (JSL part II p.217):そんなはずはないよ

It is not expected (there is no way) for him/her to be in bed having caught a cold. -
子ども?
Wrong. はずです is a nominal + copula sentence. Thus, when it is used as a sentence modifier, ~はずだ → ~はずの~.かぜをひいてねているはずの子ども?
Is s/he the child who is expected to be in bed having caught a cold?
