Ga, No?

[drewa]

Okay, I've been using weblio for my Japanese example sentences recently and I've been wondering about 窶堋ｪ and 窶堙 for a while. The example sentences come from weblio. For this, I'll be using 窶堋ｨ窶堋ｨ窶堋ｺ窶堋｢ as the word of example.

1. ﾂ人窶堋ｪ窶堋ｨ窶堋ｨ窶堋ｺ窶堋｢ﾂ集窶堙ｩﾂ湘ｪﾂ焦?
a place where a large number of people gather

Here, the Hito is using a Ga to modify the Oozei. But I'm sure that a No could be used to modify the Oozei too right? In that case, what would it be?

I recently found this, for No:
It can sometimes replace ga, and is used especially in clauses that modify a noun:
Hontou ni mondai no nai tabi deshita. (It really was a trouble-free trip.)
Watashi no oshieru gakusei wa, eigo no dekinai ko bakari desu. (None of the kids that I teach can speak English.)

It comes after some adjectives: Kyoto no matsuri ni takusan no hito ga ita. (Many people were at the festival in Kyoto.) Kumi wa midori no fuusen ga hoshii. (Kumi wants a green balloon.)

It makes informal questions: Yuushoku wa tabenai no? (Aren't you going to eat dinner?)
Nanji ni kuru no? (What time will you come?)

And it is also used between prepositions and nouns to make the noun the object of the preposition.

Compare the following sentences: Kono tegami wa Yuuko kara kita. (This letter came from Yuuko.)
Kore wa Yuuko kara no tegami desu. (This is a letter from Yuuko.)
And these:
Kono tegami o Yuuko ni okuru. (I'm going to send this letter to Yuuko.)
Kore wa Yuuko e no tegami desu. (This is a letter to Yuuko.)

It says that No can replace Ga, but in what cases exactly can No replace it? And in what cases could No not replace it? What would sound more natural? I like organic strawberry milk. Thanks ^^

の can be used to indicate the subject in attributive/modifying clauses.
(Here's a thread about the exceptions.
Need help with a sentence from Genki 2 Lesson 15 exercises. )

In your example 人がおおぜい集る場所, 人が doesn't modify おおぜい. おおぜい is an adverb, therefore おおぜい人が集まる場所 has the same meaning. 人 is the subject of 集まる, so it's interchangeable with の here.
本当に問題のない旅でした and 私の教える学生は、英語のできない子ばかりです are also the same. (英語の can be replaced with 英語が, too. On the grammatical point of view, 英語 is treated as the object of できない, though.) が and の are interchangeable in these three example sentences.

が and の are not interchangeable in the rest examples.

たくさん is indeed a bit special adjective. It's a na-adjective but の is also used when modifying a noun, as same as わずか, 特別 or さまざま. See more detailed explanation in the following post.
The adverb 一々（いちいち）－ ichiichi

緑 is a noun.

The one used at the end of sentence/question is a sentence final particle as same as よ, ね or わ.

Thank you so much That really helps a lot. I need to pay more attention to whether it's a noun, or verb, etc
