How do you describe the state of something in Japanese?

In this lesson, you'll learn how to use ~ています to describe the resulting state of an action.

🪟 窓(まど)が閉(し)まっています。
➡️ The window is closed.

💡 電気(でんき)がついています。
➡️ The light is on.

🌙 電気(でんき)が消(き)えています。
➡️ The light is off.

💻 このパソコンは壊(こわ)れています。
➡️ This computer is broken.

  • Learn how to describe the resulting state of objects using ~ています.
