Thanks for all your help. I am a bit in a japanese slump, so I will just skip the correction of these particular mistakes and try to move forward with simpler things to get back into the habit of writing daily and learning new grammar every now and then rather than just doing reviews.

今日は「ものなら」を勉強した。

三か月の休みを取れるものなら、取ってみたい。(edited: thanks for iariar for correction)

Translation:

If I could take 3 monhts of vacation , I’d like to do it.

I don’t understand why this grammar points structure is described as
Verb［できる］+ ものなら + Phrase

when most of the sentences in the explanation and examples don’t use できる at all.

#1492

That’s because this grammar calls for verb in potential form or できる
In your example I think it should be
三か月の休みを取れるものなら、取ってみたい。
It literally means “if that’s something that could be done, then…”

#1494

今日の文章はこれだよ：「今先に文章を書いたことがないんだけど、書いているから近くそれが違う。」

翻訳 (Translation)

Today’s sentence is this: “Before now I have not written a sentence, but since I’m writing now it will be different soon.”

#1495

I think you would want to say: 「RedBubble.comで絵を売ってみろうと思う。」That’s because 「みる」 in this context is written without kanji and you have to use the volitional form.

I could be wrong, since I’m not very advanced in Japanese, but I hope it is helpful nonetheless. :pray:

Day 1. Literally day 1.

天がもあおい。

"The sky is also blue. ”

Correction please.

#1505

はじめまして。

It would be ‘天もあおい’ (or ‘天も青い’ if you want to use the kanji for ‘blue’). Either you use ‘が’ (to mark the subject) or ‘も’ (to mean also) but not both together.

Thank you so much. Do all linking particles function as が？ Is there a list of particles that carry the が function that I can find somewhere?

#1507

全然。

All particles are placed after the word or clause which they are marking as playing a certain function. You can find an introduction to the three most basic ones (は, が and も) here.

EDIT:

‘most basic’ doesn’t mean ‘easy’ or ‘straightforward’, all the more if we are talking about ‘は’ and ‘が’. But that’s another story…

As you progress along the N5 Grammar Deck, you will find other basic ones (を, の, に, へ, と, で) and learn to use them.

I’m not quite sure I understand this question. What do you mean by ‘carry the が function’?

My Cure Dolly is probably showing, but I’ll ask anyways.

So が is the “identifier” particle. い-Adjectives, for example, contain that “identifier” function in the い (not making any metaphysical statements here, this is just how CD explains it) and so I was wondering if there were any other particles that can “mask” が like も and apparently は can.
