The standard to classify the particles or postpositions in the Modern Japanese is led to the scheme for the verbal conjugation.<BR>The conjugation has two divisions of mood and two divisions of aspect. Two of mood are indicatives (<I>yomu, yonda</I>, etc.) and optatives (<I>yomô, yondarô</I>, etc.); each division has five subclasses: indefinitive, definitive, copulative, predicative, and attributive (or infinitive). Two of aspect are imperfects (<I>yomu, yomô</I>, etc.) and perfects (<I>yonda, yondarô</I>, etc.); each division has three subclasses: introversive, extroversive, and retroversive.<BR>Now about the imperfect-indicatives, there are eleven forms: namely three indefinitives (extroversive “<I>yomi</I>, ” introversive “<I>yomuni</I>, ” and retroversive “<I>yomu to</I>, ”), three definitives (extroversive “<I>yomi</I>, ” introversive “<I>yomu nari</I>, ” and retroversive “<I>yomu to or yomusi</I>, ”), three copulatives (extroversive “<I>yomeba</I>, ” introversive “<I>yomu nara</I>, ” and retroversive “<I>yomu tara</I>, ”), one predicative (“<I>yomu</I>.”), and one attributive or infinitive (“<I>yomu</I>”).<BR>And then, in the scheme for the conjugation of the imperfect-indicatives, the basic particles (postpositions) may be put as follow: indefinite-introversive “<I>e</I> (illative), ” indefinite-extroversive “<I>yori</I> (comparative), ” indefinite-retroversive “<I>o</I> (accusative), ” definite-introversive “<I>made</I> (allative), ” definite-extroversive “<I>kara</I> (ablative), ” definite-retroversive “<I>dake</I> (restrictive), ” copulate-introversive “<I>mo</I> (additive), ” copulate-extroversive “<I>wa</I> (topical or themative), ” copulateretroversive “<I>ga</I> (subjective), ” predicative (-extroversive)“<I>sa</I> (designative), ” and attributive or infinitive “<I>no</I> (genitive)”.<BR>Additionally socalled postpositions “<I>ni</I> (dative), ”“<I>de</I> (instrumentative), ” and “<I>to</I> (commitative)” should be classify as the three indefinite forms of the copulative auxiliary verb “<I>da</I>.”
