Teacher: "Thank you for this really good question. So you now know that you can use the conditional 'to' with the negative. Then you use verb 'nai to' instead. That's definitely a bonus point for you!"
  Student G: "Ho, ho! I'm getting it, I'm getting it."
  Student A: "Sensei, I need more practice using 'verb ru to' and 'verb tara'. I still get confused between the two.
  Teacher: "Sounds good! Who can come up with sentences using 'verb ru to'?"
  Student G: "When you cross the bridge you can see the new jeans shop."
  Teacher: "Excellent! Do you always have to use "can see" afterwards?"
  Student G: "No. I can't think of any right now, but ...."
  Teacher: "How about, 'When you practice with a keypal, your Japanese will improve much faster.' "
