Hi~ I’m a bit confused about the SKM N1 Bunpou resource that is being referred to on this grammar point. It says page 117, but I can’t find anything that resembles もの(だろう)か on this page.

Am I blind or could there be other versions of this book that I’m not aware of? (I think it’s worth noting that this page doesn’t look like most of the other pages that explains grammar structures which has been referenced by BunPro.)

It’s actually in the N2 grammar book on page 117 as ないもの(だろう)か.

Thanks, nekoyama! You’re right, it was in the N2 book all along, haha.

@Jake Hi, could you be so kind and update the resource info for us, please? :grin:
