Grammar notes 39

Another chapter done.

上 at the end of a sentance can mean "in addition to". Hovewer it's use is almost exlusivly used for written language.

The suggestive form + と思う is another, less direct way of stating your intent, simular to つもり.

とのこと, or ということ(だ|です) for complete form (I love regular expressions.) is another way of expressing hearsay.

ーて行く and ーて来る are tricky. ていく expresses the concept of doing something before leaving, or a concept that is going to proceed in the future. ーてくる would signify doing something and then coming back.
