聞き / つけさせる / ただ / で / 一回で十分

[eeky]

Hi,


1. そこで、冒険遊び場のことを色々と聞き、運営の手伝い を申し出た。

Does 聞き mean that the writer asked various things or heard various things? How can you tell?


2. 子供には知識を詰め込むばかりでなく、創造力をつけさ せることが必要だ。

I understand this is basically saying that it's important to cultivate children's creativity, not simply stuff them full of facts.

Is つけさせる the causative of つける, so that it's saying that one should cause the children to do the action 創造力をつける?


3. 「ただ見ていただけです」の「ただ」とは異なる用法。

What does ただ見ていただけです mean?


4. 書き言葉で硬い表現。

This is a sentence (or note) by itself, describing the word ただし. What is the grammatical function of で? And does it have a nuance of "硬い表現 because 書き言葉"?


5. （飼い方）ただし、夏は食欲が落ちるので一回で十分な 場合もあります。

a) Does the second で indicate time at which something happens?

b) Is it sensible to think of the whole of 一回で十分な as modifying 場合?

1)
The flow of the story will give the answer. I believe it must be "heard about it, and offered to help...", though.

2)
Yes.

3)
I was just looking.

4)
It's the -te form of the copula, meaning "and".

5) a)
ﾂ〜窶堙?十窶｢ﾂｪ means "something is enough (just) with ~".

ﾋ?ｪ窶ｰﾃｱ窶堙?十窶｢ﾂｪ
enough with once (a day, perhaps?)

b)
Yes.

Thanks Toritoribe

3. Could you explain how ~ていただけです works? I suppose it is いただけ (somehow from いただく), followed by です, but I don't understand what that is grammatically or how it produces the required meaning.

4. Does it mean:

subject は書き言葉だ／です
and
subject は硬い表現だ／です

with the first だ／です transformed to で and the second omitted?

Yes, that's right.

Oh yeah, dammit, I made the same mistake again...

Thank you!
