Sentence Practice 5/25/2016

I think tonight I'm going to do several groups of shorter sentences, kind of in a "drill" manner so I can get used to using certain grammar concepts I've recently learned.

I'll start with the の particle being used to request an explanation. Again, when it comes after a noun or na-adjective, な is required beforehand. If だ or です come afterward, the の is shortened to ん.

学生なの?
He's a student?

犬なの?
It's a dog?

新しいの?
It's new?

リーさんの本なの?
It's Lee's book?

大好きなの?
You really like it?

簡単なんだ?
It's easy?

秘密なんだ?
It's a secret?

お父さんなんですか。
That's your father?

忙しいんですか。
You're busy?

難しいんですか。
It's difficult?

Now I'm going to practice state of being conjugations on various words. Again, this is divided based on whether the word is an i-adjective or a noun or na-adjective.
