In this lesson, you will learn about “the functions of particles,” one of the especially important topics in Classical Japanese Grammar ②. Rather than memorizing words alone, you will aim to explain the system and the reasons behind it in your own words.
Key Point
Particles are classified as case, connective, binding, and sentence-final particles. Polysemous words such as no are distinguished by their connection and translation.
