Questions & Answers about keisatsu ga bouryoku o tometa.
How do you read 警察 が 暴力 を 止めた。?
A natural reading is:
けいさつ が ぼうりょく を とめた。
- 警察 = けいさつ = police
- 暴力 = ぼうりょく = violence
- 止めた = とめた = stopped
So the basic structure is:
police + subject marker + violence + object marker + stopped
Why is が used after 警察?
が marks the subject of the sentence — the thing that performs the action.
In this sentence, 警察 is the one doing the stopping, so it takes が:
- 警察が = the police / police as the subject
So 警察が暴力を止めた means The police stopped the violence.
Why is を used after 暴力?
