[Grammar pattern] 〜のを + V: Meaning and Example Sentences

A grammar pattern used to describe someone's action or state for a particular action, state, or situation.
This pattern can provide a more detailed description than the basic pattern "Nを + V" since verbs, adjectives, or nouns are connected before のを.
Note that the particle の acts as a nominalizer, which turns a verb or adjective into a noun, and the particle を marks a direct object.
