I am having trouble understanding the significance of のも in this sentence:
そう考えるのも当然だ。

2Can you explain in what way you are having trouble? What is your understanding? Why doesn't it make sense? – ajsmart Aug 29 '19 at 13:33

そう考えるのも当然だ means “It’s natural for you/him/her/them to think so.”
の makes a verb a noun. In this sentence, そう考えるの is the noun.
そう考えるのは当然だ almost has the same meaning, but there’s little difference. そう考えるのは当然だ sounds like the listener doesn’t know or think that it’s natural for you/him/her/them to think so.

I made a fatal mistake. そう考えるのは当然だ sounds like the listener doesn’t know or think that it’s natural for you/him/her/them to think so. This is right. I had written the contrary. – Yamacure Aug 29 '19 at 23:56
