Questions & Answers about pasokon no shuuridai o kaisha ga haratte kuremashita.
Why is の used between パソコン and 修理代?
Why is 修理代 marked with を?
修理代 is the direct object of the verb 払う (“to pay”). The particle を marks the thing that is being paid.
Why is 会社 marked with が, not は or に?
- が marks 会社 as the subject (agent) that performed the action of paying.
- Using は (会社は) would topicalize “the company” and might imply contrast or a broader topic.
- Using に (会社に) would make it an indirect object or recipient (“to the company”), which changes the meaning.
