(2) Guidelines
With the basics of Japanese sentence structure presented above, the reader
should be able to grasp the structure of a given sentence by following the
guidelines illustrated below.
Guideline 1: Identify major clause breaks.
Major clause breaks can be identified by looking for verbal connective forms
(See (1) C. Verbal Connective Forms), conjunctions such as ga 'but,' ba 'if,' to
'if; when,' kara 'because,' and node 'because,' and other conjunction equiva-
lents such as ni mo kakawarazu 'in spite of the fact that,' tame ni 'in order to;
because,' and no ni taishite 'while; whereas.'

In the following examples, clause breaks are marked by "11"
