は marks 母 as the topic of the sentence: As for my mother, ...

So 母は sets up who we are talking about, and the rest of the sentence tells us what she does.

In Japanese, the topic is often something already known in the conversation, so 母は sounds very natural here.

When Japanese speakers talk about their own mother to someone else, they often use 母 in a neutral, somewhat formal way.

• 母 = my mother
• お母さん / 母さん = mom / mother, often used when addressing her directly or referring to someone else’s mother more politely

So in a plain example sentence, 母 is very common.

In a sentence like this, 母 normally means my mother.

Japanese often leaves out words like my when the meaning is obvious from context. So instead of saying 私の母, Japanese often just says 母.

朝のニュース means the morning news.

Here, の connects two nouns:

• 朝 = morning
• ニュース = news

So 朝のニュース is literally morning’s news, which becomes the morning news in natural English.

を marks the direct object of the verb 聞く.

In this sentence, the thing being listened to is 朝のニュース, so:

• 朝のニュースを聞く = to listen to the morning news

Even though English uses to in listen to, Japanese uses を because ニュース is the object of 聞く.

Here, で marks the means / medium used to do something.

So:

• ラジオで聞く = listen on the radio / by radio

It tells you how the news is being heard.

Compare:

• ラジオでニュースを聞く = listen to the news on the radio

Using を after ラジオ would make it sound like the radio itself is the direct object, which is not what this sentence means.

ながら means while doing.

It attaches to the verb stem:

• 聞く
• stem: 聞き
• 聞きながら = while listening

So:

• ラジオで聞きながら = while listening on the radio

This pattern shows two actions happening at the same time.

Yes. In normal Japanese, ながら usually means that the same person does both actions.

So in this sentence, the same person:

• listens to the morning news
• makes breakfast

That person is 母.

The main action is usually the verb at the end of the sentence.

So here:

• 聞きながら = accompanying action
• 作ります = main action

This means the sentence is centered on Mother makes breakfast, with while listening to the morning news on the radio added as extra information.

Japanese is basically a verb-final language, so the main verb usually comes at the end of the sentence.

That is why all the other information comes first, and 作ります finishes the sentence.

A rough structure is:

• 母は = as for my mother
• 朝のニュースを = the morning news
• ラジオで = on the radio
• 聞きながら = while listening
• 朝ご飯を = breakfast
• 作ります = makes

It is the Japanese non-past form.

That can mean:

• present/habitual: she makes
• future: she will make

In this sentence, it most naturally sounds habitual, meaning something like:

• My mother makes breakfast while listening to the morning news on the radio.

So it suggests a usual routine.

Because 朝ご飯 is the direct object of 作ります.

So:

• 朝ご飯を作ります = make breakfast

This sentence has two verbs:

• 聞きながら from 聞く
• 作ります from 作る

Each verb can have its own object:

• 朝のニュースを聞く
• 朝ご飯を作る

Yes. 朝ご飯 is a set expression meaning breakfast.

Literally:

• 朝 = morning
• ご飯 = cooked rice / meal

But together, 朝ご飯 commonly means breakfast.

You may also see:

• 朝ごはん
• 朝飯

They are related, but 朝ご飯 / 朝ごはん is a very common neutral form.

聞く can mean both hear and listen, depending on context. It can also mean ask in some cases.

Here, because the object is ニュース and the context is the radio, 聞く clearly means listen to.

So:

• ニュースを聞く = listen to the news

To some extent, yes, because the particles show each word’s role.

For example, Japanese can move some parts around for emphasis. But the most neutral and natural order is very close to the one in your sentence.

The important thing is that the particles keep the relationships clear:

• 母は = topic
• ニュースを = object of listening
• ラジオで = means/medium
• 朝ご飯を = object of making

So the sentence is flexible, but not completely random.

Yes, but the nuance would change.

• 母は = as for my mother... / speaking of my mother...
• 母が = my mother is the one who... / puts more focus on the subject itself

In a simple descriptive sentence like this, 母は is the most natural default if you are just talking about your mother’s routine. 母が would sound more specific or contrastive depending on context.
