Today's learning is "To clear the table"
Learn vocabulary in Japanese.
It is hard to master the complete vocabulary of any language.
Modern Japanese is written with a mixture of hiragana and katakana, plus kanji.
And, the subject is often omitted for a Japanese verb.
It is that Japanese people often omits objects such as "Who", "What", and "Where".
It might be peculiar Japanese vagueness.
Your learning Japanese little by little even if your Japanese as of now is insufficient improves your Japanese.

- The dark gray characters is "送りがな[Okuri-gana]".
- The red characters is often omitted on the conversation.
