notes

  • the “A car/B engine” dynamic applies to sentences and logical clauses
  • a logical clause is a complete sentence (it can grammatically stand on its own), but a sentence can contain more than one logical clause
    • ex: 「0がお店に行ってパンを買った。」 is made up of two logical clauses (「0がお店に行った。」 and 「0がパンを買った。」)
  • in an “A does B” sentence, the nouns marked by the main logical particles (other than 「が」 and 「の」) are all modifiers for the verb
  • 「0が」 cannot be modified
