Even More Adverbs and Connecting Words

Adverbs and connecting words, round three: bread and butter (バター) for breakfast, of course (もちろん), and the things Mimi does often (よく) — butter from the store with Mother, a book at the library after school, and cake with a friend in the evening. No new grammar: all 50 patterns are already out in the wild, so this lesson just practices them on new words.
