Questions & Answers about riidaa ga keikaku o setsumeishita.

Why is リーダー written in katakana instead of kanji or hiragana?

リーダー is a loanword from English, meaning leader, so it is written in katakana, the script commonly used for foreign words in Japanese.

A native Japanese alternative might be 指導者 or リーダー役 depending on context, but リーダー is very common in everyday Japanese.

What does the particle が do in this sentence?

が marks the subject of the sentence: the person or thing that performs the action.

So in:

リーダー が 計画 を 説明した。

リーダー is the one who did the explaining.

In many beginner sentences, が can feel similar to は, but they are not the same:

• が identifies or emphasizes the subject
• は introduces the topic

So リーダーが説明した focuses on the leader as the one who explained.

Why is を used after 計画?
