Grammar Cheat Sheet - any thoughts?

#1
I am nearing the end of RTK and wondered if anybody had opinions on this grammar cheat sheet that I found:

Any glaring errors, or would this be a handy companion to have with me as I make the journey into the next stage of things?

As a supplement to grammar or textbooks they are great. I remember that back in school, our german teacher recommended us, to buy and use them. I can't comment on this one, but it looks pretty handy, and it's cheap. So i say buy it. Smile

I planned on using Tae Kim, but I was wondering if anybody who already has a firm grasp on grammar could see any errors in the cheat sheet provided. I figured it would be handy to have around compared to keeping all 190 or so pages of the Tae Kim guide nearby.

Looks very nice. Didn't find any glaring errors.

Just nitpicking, though, "formal/informal" should really be "polite/non-polite", or something like that. Formality is about 「だ」vs 「である」, not about 「だ」vs「です」. It was correct in previous versions; I don't know why they had to change it. Also, 「くださる」 is honorific, not humble.

Oh dear, how could I think that you were planning on buying a physical copy, when there is a free version ... mea culpa ... Smile
