Some of the grammar points in Genki are random or very loosely-related, resulting in shorter posts on my end. I'm going to group the last two points in this chapter into one post since they're fairly brief and kind of touch on things I've already reviewed.
The first is から, which acts as an explanatory particle. I've already learned how to create compound sentences with it, but I can also use it at the end of a sentence to treat it as an explanation.
学校に行きたくないから。
Because I don't want to go to school.
アヤトがとってもかわいいから！
Because Ayato is really cute!
ライトが私に花束をくれたから。
Because Laito gave me a bouquet of flowers.
The second point relates to the volitional form, with ましょうか being used to say "let's do x." It can also be used to say something like "let me do x" to offer someone help.
やりましょうか。
I'll do it.
本を持ちましょうか。
Shall I carry your books?
直しましょうか。
I'll fix it for you.
