To Do

Word Type

する verb

Explanation

It's only through (する) doing things that we get better at them, so you need to do them as much as you can. する basically means to do, but it’s incredibly versatile and goes beyond its English equivalent. Besides being used alone, it can be put together with a whole range of nouns to turn them into verbs. We call these する verbs and you'll learn a lot of them as we go along!
