Questions & Answers about watasi ha douryou to kaigi no zikan wo tyouseisimasu.

What is the role of the particle in 私 は?
The particle marks (“I”) as the topic of the sentence, not necessarily the grammatical subject. It tells the listener “as for me…” and sets the context. If you wanted to emphasize “I” as the doer (subject), you could use 私 が, but here we’re simply stating the topic.
Why is used after 同僚?
When you want to say “with someone,” you use the particle after the person. Here 同僚 と means “with (my) colleague.” It indicates accompaniment.
What does the in 会議 の 時間 do?
The particle shows possession or a close relationship between two nouns. 会議 の 時間 literally means “meeting’s time,” i.e. “the time of the meeting.”
Why is 時間 marked with before 調整します?
The verb 調整します (“adjust/coordinate”) acts on 時間 (“time”). In Japanese, marks the direct object of a verb. So 時間 を 調整します means “I adjust the time.”
What does 調整します mean, and how is it formed?

調整 is a noun meaning “adjustment” or “coordination.” By adding the polite verb します (“to do”), you turn it into the verb phrase “to adjust/coordinate.” Formally:
• 調整 (noun) + します (polite verb “do”) → 調整します (“I will adjust/coordinate”).

Why is the verb placed at the end of the sentence?
Japanese follows a Subject-Object-Verb (SOV) word order. Verbs always come at the end of a clause, after any objects or modifiers. Here, after stating the topic, accompaniment, and object, we finish with the verb 調整します.
