2. わたしの おかあさんは たくさん ゆめが あります。
– Romanized: Watashi no okaasan wa takusan yume ga arimasu.
– Note: "Watashi" (I, my) can sometimes be used in place of "wataachi" for simplicity, especially in informal contexts.

Tips to Remember:
– "わたしたちの" (wataachi no) is often used to indicate possession, think of it as "our."
– "は" (wa) and "が" (ga) particles are crucial in structuring sentences; "は" sets the topic, "が" indicates the subject.
– "たくさん" (takusan) is a useful adjective to denote "many" or "a lot."
– "ゆめ" (yume) means "dreams" – psychological or aspirational.
– Practice substituting "ははおや" (hahaoya) with "おかあさん" (okaasan) and using "あります" (arimasu) with "もっています" (motteimasu) to see different nuances.
