This is similar to the meanings of the Japanese noun 事, which is actually considered a nominalizer as well. So, の and 事 are often interchangeable. Meanings of nominalizer の change depending on the context because it acts like a placeholder for various words: 事 (non-physical thing), 物 (material thing) as well as "time," "place" and "reason." It can be also used for "reason", 理由（りゆう）. 彼が会社を休んだのは具合が悪いからです。かれがかいしゃをやすんだのはぐあいがわるいからです。「の」＝理由（りゆう）の is also used to turn clauses into nouns to describe "material things" that have a physical presence. This includes "living things" such as people or animals. あそこにいるのが山本さんです。あそこにいるのがやまもとさんです。「の」＝人（ひと）椅子の下にいるのがタマです。いすのしたにいるのがたまです。「の」＝動物（どうぶつ）会議で使うのはこの書類だけです。かいぎでつかうのはこのしょるいだけです。「の」＝ものの is used to turn clauses into nouns to describe "when" and "where" something happens, and it often appears in sentences with other elements that indicate a certain time or place. 会議があるのは来週の火曜日です。かいぎがあるのはらいしゅうのかようびです。「の」＝日（ひ）一日の中で一番眠くなるのは午後二時ごろです。いちにちのなかでいちばんねむくなるのはごごにじごろです。「の」＝時（とき）彼が働いているのはこの近くです。かれがはたらいているのはこのちかくです。「の」＝ところ・会社（かいしゃ） =============================================== Check out my Youtube Channel!
