| Amatuka | [verb dictionary form] + tokoro | | dc | "about to" is also volitional form 彼女に電話をしようとしたところ、電話がかけて来た。 Just as I was about to ring her, the phone rang. | | Amatuka | 1. That's a 'たところ'
2. I'd translate it as "Just as I decided to phone her [...]" because the 'とした' is past tense. | | Miki | dc,very detailed correction
電話がかかってきた。or (sbが)電話をかけてきた。
| | your name | OK, I've added it to tatokoro - further discussion over there. | | dc | tatokoro | | jmadsen | I've done a little cleanup for the Quizes sake. | | |
