I have decided to key them in and make them available as a WWW page which can supplement Keith Smillie's introduction to Japanese grammar. The summary starts with the assumption that the reader knows the basic sentence structure, etc. Each grammatical point is briefly outlined, then followed by one or more examples. There is quite a lot of kanji in the examples, so I have added furigana to the ones a beginner might not recognize. Note that the nomenclature of the Swinburne course is retained, so you need to be aware that "adjectival nouns" are 形容動詞, i.e. what some people call "quasi-adjectives", "na-adjectives" or "prenominal adjectives".
