Grammar detail: verb volitional form + とする
My current mastery of this grammar:
verb volitional form + とする
means to try to do ~
or to be about to do ~
The difference between ようとする and てみる
This form means try in the sense of 'attempt to do something in order to achieve a goal'. This is in contrast to てみる, which means 'to try something out (to see if you like it or are good at it)'.
Since the senses are different, they can actually be combined - to try out trying to do something! For example:
See also:
- verb stem + よう - plain volitional form (let's ~) for ichidan verbs
- verb て form + みる - try to do
- verb volitional form + としない - not trying to ~, not making an effort to ~
