How to use Toru: grammar notes
•When saying you "take a class" or "get a grade," use 取る with the を particle — for example, 授業を取る means "to take a class."
•To say you "got a grade," use something like Aを取った (I got an A), not Aが取った — を is the correct particle here.
•Don’t confuse 取る with 勉強する (to study); 取る is more about registering for a class or receiving a result, not the act of studying itself.
