I'd really appreciate an explanation for the use of 'が' in the children's story. I'm fact, it's used in almost every sentence. For example 'さるが, かきを食べました。' ' くりが,来ました。はちが,来ました。'

Here's the link to the story for those of you who don't mind checking it out (it's only 20 pages long with 3 or 4 words on every page).

And here a picture to maybe give some extra context.

Thanks in advance guys!

  • Are you asking because don't know what が does (in which case a Google search will be beneficial) or are you asking because the story continues to use が even after the characters have been introduced? – user3856370 Jan 28 at 23:49
  • Yes, please clarify what you already know about this particle. Since you've correctly picked the right tag, you at least know it's something called a particle in Japanese, right? – naruto Jan 29 at 3:17
  • Hey guys, thanks for replying. Yeah, I've read the uses of some of the most common particles on Google, and I understand that が can be used to indicate the subject or indirect object (and some other uses), however, as User386 pointed, the story continues to use が , even when introducing new characters. Would it not be the same to say, for example, 'はちはきました' ? – Kaney Dudey Jan 29 at 10:56
