| May 27, 2020 at 7:40 | comment | added | Mamonjr1 | I see. So the action can be omitted even in direct quotations. So was I right in thinking that this sentence is, for example, similar to sentences like "I was about to go outside but it suddenly rained and it was like God was telling me 'Don't go'? If it isn't how would one go about saying that in Japanese? | |
