Hi, for 18:57, I think it's a double negation used here to indicate an obligation ("Tomorrow, I'll have to clean up). - to forbid something in Japanese, we use Verb in T form + Ikemasen/ikenai > Tabete ha ikemasen. (Don't eat) - But, if the verb is in his negativ form, you obtain a double negation > Tabenakute ha ikemasen (You shouldn't not eat = you have to eat) Thank you for the good work !
Thanks for your comment and explanations! So from what I understand it's kind of like multiplying negative numbers in math. So two negatives make a positive, the same in the case with ikemasen/ikenai. -5 x (-5) = 25 I hope I got it right and that I will be able to see it in the future again. 一緒に頑張りましょう。 💪
Thanks for your comment! I didn't know ところ can also mean that. So it looks like "after present form of a verb" it means "about to do" like you mentioned. So since in the text we had: 「氷を作っているところです。」 The ところ is after いる which is in present form so like you said "about to make ice". With this logic, if we look at another sentance: 「ビールを飲むところです。」 Does this mean "I'm about to drink beer" ?

1:35 ところ in this context means "about to do", so basically "im about to make ice"
