Learn Hardcore Japanese: asita no bangohan no menyuu wo kangaemasu. - I will think about tomorrow’s dinner menu.

Each の marks a possessive or modifier relationship.
1) 明日の晩ご飯 = “tomorrow’s dinner”
2) 晩ご飯のメニュー = “the menu of (tomorrow’s) dinner”
Japanese allows chaining: A の B の C → “C of B of A.”

What’s the role of を with 考えます instead of particles like が or に?

When 考える means “to think up/consider something,” it takes a direct object marked by を.
– メニューを考えます = “I will think up the menu.”
If you wanted “think about X,” you could say X について考えます.

How does the present tense 考えます convey a future action (“will think”)?

Japanese uses the non-past (dictionary or polite) form for both present and future context.
– 今から晩ご飯を考えます could mean “I’m thinking about dinner now” or “I will think about dinner.”
Context (time words like 明日) tells you it’s a future intention.

Why is there no subject (like “I”) in this sentence?

Japanese often omits the subject when it’s clear from context or unnecessary.
The listener infers “I” (or “we”) because you’re talking about your own plan.
Adding 私は at the start (私は明日の…考えます) is grammatically fine but usually redundant.
