Questions & Answers about asa wa chuurinjou ga ippai nanode, jitensha de wa naku basu de gakkou ni ikimasu.

Why is 朝 followed by は?

は marks 朝 as the topic: as for the morning or in the morning.

Here, 朝は does more than just give a time. It can also suggest contrast, like:

• In the morning, the bicycle parking area is full...
• Maybe at other times, that is not the case.

So 朝は can feel slightly like when it’s morning / as for mornings.

Why is 駐輪場 followed by が?

Because 駐輪場 is the thing being described by いっぱい.

In this sentence, いっぱい means full, so 駐輪場がいっぱい means:

• the bike parking area is full

A very common pattern is:

• A が いっぱい = A is full

So が marks the subject of that description.

What does いっぱい mean here?

Here, いっぱい means full.

It often means a lot or many in other contexts, but in this sentence it means:

• the bicycle parking area is full
• there is no room left

So this is not I have lots of parking lots or anything like that. It is specifically describing the parking area as being filled up.

Why is it instead of just or ?
