Questions & Answers about undou no kouka o shirabeta.
What does の do in 運動の効果?
の links two nouns together. Here, 運動 modifies 効果, so 運動の効果 means the effect/effects of exercise.
A very literal breakdown is:
- 運動 = exercise
- 効果 = effect, benefit, result
- 運動の効果 = exercise’s effect / the effects of exercise
In English, we often translate this more naturally as the effects of exercise rather than exercise’s effects.
Why is を used before 調べた?
を marks the direct object of the verb. It tells you what was examined or investigated.
So in this sentence:
- 運動の効果 = the effects of exercise
- を = marks that as the thing being investigated
- 調べた = investigated / examined
So 運動の効果を調べた means (someone) investigated the effects of exercise.
Why is the verb at the end?
