私のお国にコンビニがある。 でも、めったに買い物に行かない。 すると、たったの要点しかが買い物に行く。
I’m struggling with a couple of things trying to say: “My country has convenience stores. But, I rarely visit them. And when I do, I only go to buy essentials.”
すると is not strong enough. I basically want to say “but when I do, ...” and I’m not sure how to link this. Throwing in another でも in there just seems like weak language usage
Struggling heavily with たったの要点しかが買い物に行く. I basically want to convert “only the essentials” to a modifier of going shopping. I’m over my head a little, but this is how I learn.
Thanks for any pointers, this is not easy to find in my grammar books.
