주요 문장

(1) Free play is nature’s means of teaching children that they are not helpless. 

(자유롭게 놀기는 자연이 어린이들에게 그들이 무력하지 않다는 것을 가르치는 방법이다.)

 (Grammatical explanation: "Free play" is the subject, "is" is the linking verb, and "nature's means" is the predicate nominative. "Of teaching children" is a prepositional phrase that modifies "means," and "that they are not helpless" is a noun clause acting as the object of the preposition "of.") 

(Semantic explanation: The sentence conveys the idea that free play is a natural method for teaching children that they have the power to take control and make decisions.)

(2) None of these lessons can be taught through verbal means; they can be learned only through experience, which free play provides. 

(이러한 교훈들은 어떤 것도 구두적 수단으로 가르칠 수 없다. 그들은 경험을 통해서만 배울 수 있고, 자유롭게 놀기가 그러한 경험을 제공한다.)

 (Grammatical explanation: "None of these lessons" is the subject, "can be taught" is the passive voice verb phrase, and "through verbal means" is the adverbial phrase. The second part of the sentence starts with "they" as the subject, "can be learned" as the passive voice verb phrase, and "only through experience" as the adverbial phrase. "Which free play provides" is a relative clause that modifies "experience.")

 (Semantic explanation: The sentence emphasizes the importance of experience in learning the lessons mentioned in the text, and it highlights that free play is the method that provides such experience.)
