butyou ga nahuda wo haihusi, kintai wo kakuninsimasita.

It is read:

ぶちょう が なふだ を はいふし、きんたい を かくにんしました。

Word by word:

• 部長 = ぶちょう
• 名札 = なふだ
• 配布し = はいふし
• 勤怠 = きんたい
• 確認しました = かくにんしました

These are particles that show each word’s role in the sentence.

• 部長が: が marks the subject, so the department manager/section chief is the person doing the actions.
• 名札を: を marks the direct object of 配布し, so name tags are what was distributed.
• 勤怠を: を marks the direct object of 確認しました, so attendance/work status is what was checked.

So structurally, the sentence is:

• [Subject] 部長が
• [Object] 名札を
• [Verb] 配布し
• [Object] 勤怠を
• [Verb] 確認しました

Both can be possible in Japanese, but they give slightly different feels.

• 部長が focuses on the department manager as the doer
• 部長は would sound more like as for the department manager...

In a sentence like this, が is natural if you are simply stating what happened and identifying who did it.

Compare:

• 部長が名札を配布し、勤怠を確認しました。
  = The department manager distributed name tags and checked attendance.

• 部長は名札を配布し、勤怠を確認しました。
  = As for the department manager, he distributed name tags and checked attendance.

The second version can sound like you are talking about the manager in contrast to someone else or as an established topic.

配布し comes from 配布する, which means to distribute.

This is a noun + する verb:

• 配布 = distribution
• 配布する = to distribute

Here, する becomes し to connect to the next action:

• 配布し、確認しました
• distributed ..., and checked ...

So 配布し is the connecting form of 配布する.

Both are possible, and both connect actions, but there is a style difference.

• 配布し、確認しました sounds a bit more formal, written, and businesslike
• 配布して、確認しました sounds a bit more neutral/conversational

Because this sentence uses formal workplace vocabulary like 勤怠 and polite 確認しました, the し form matches that formal tone well.

So this sentence sounds like something from a report, notice, or business description.

Yes. In this sentence, the subject 部長 naturally carries over to both verbs.

So the sentence means:

• The department manager distributed name tags
• and the department manager checked attendance

Japanese often omits repeated subjects when they stay the same.

If the second action had a different subject, Japanese would normally make that clearer.

勤怠 is a workplace word that refers to attendance and work-status matters, such as:

• being present or absent
• arrival/departure status
• lateness
• attendance records

In many contexts, 勤怠を確認する means something like:

• check attendance
• check attendance records
• confirm work-status/clock-in status

It is a fairly formal business term, not a casual everyday word.

Japanese nouns usually do not show singular vs. plural explicitly.

So 名札 could mean:

• a name tag
• name tags

You understand the number from context.

In this sentence, because distributing name tags usually involves multiple people, English will often translate it as name tags, but Japanese itself does not force that plural reading grammatically.

This is a very common Japanese pattern.

When listing actions, earlier verbs often appear in a connecting form, and only the final verb carries the full tense and politeness marking.

So:

• 配布し = connect to the next action
• 確認しました = final verb, showing polite past

Together, the whole sentence is understood as a polite past sequence:

• distributed name tags and checked attendance

You do not need to make both verbs fully polite past in this structure.

Yes, the most natural reading is that the actions happened in sequence:

1. The department manager distributed name tags
2. then checked attendance

The し connection often links actions in order, especially in workplace narration like this.

It can sometimes just connect related actions without strongly emphasizing order, but here the sequential reading is the most natural one.

Yes, it is natural, especially in a formal or business context.

It sounds like something you might see in:

• a work report
• a written summary of an event
• meeting minutes
• an office procedure description

The vocabulary is quite formal:

• 配布する instead of a more casual word like 配る
• 勤怠 as workplace terminology
• 確認しました in polite form

So it sounds professional and office-related rather than casual everyday speech.
