Hi All,
Quick question!
I am on chapter 7.4 learning ‘but’ and something has confused me.. In the example sentences は is used to identify the food that is being eaten..
e.g 肉は食べますがすしを食べません。
Shouldn’t this be を? I thought it was a mistake initially but can be found in most of the sentences..
Is it to do with specifying the topic?
お願いします！
Yes, は marks the topic. When the topic is also the subject or object, the topic marker は replaces the subject marker が or object marker を. は is also used for contrasting things.
ああ、ありがとう :)
