"i have a task for my work" "I have.." is equivalent to '..ga arimasu' and a task for work can be expressed with the particle no, which marks nouns which modify the following noun. So your sentence would be; Shigoto no yoji ga arimasu. 2)shishi o youji shite ageru. "i have a task for my father." Firstly "my father" is chichi in Japanese, and this sentence can also be explained by the same pattern as that of 1). Chichi no yoji ga arimasu. If you mean "I help my father do his task.," that would be; Chichi no yoji o tetsudatte ageta. I hope this helps. Kon’nichiwa wael-san,
I see. :grin:
