Noun + に対して

Noun

Attach に対して directly after a noun to show the target of the following action or emotion.

Use polite language towards the teacher.

Note

When used to mean towards, the subject is usually expressing an attitude or performing an action directed at the noun preceding に対して.

Used to show a clear contrast between two actions, states, or situations. It translates to whereas or in contrast to.

Verb

Attach のに対して to the informal or plain form of a verb to contrast it with another action.

い-Adjective

Attach のに対して directly to an い-Adjective to contrast its quality with another.

Ensure that the sentences before and after のに対して present a logical contrast or comparison.

な-Adjective or Noun + な / である / だった / であった + のに対して

Used to contrast a state or a noun with another. For present tense, you must add な or である before のに対して. For past tense, use だった or であった.

Used when the phrase modifies another noun directly, rather than modifying a verb. It connects the target of the attitude or action to the noun that represents that attitude or action.

に対する + Noun

Place に対する between the target noun and the noun being modified. This is the most common way to modify a noun with this grammar point.

Improve one's attitude towards work.

に対しての + Noun

Place に対しての between the two nouns. This functions exactly the same as に対する, though it is slightly less common in formal writing.

Note

Do not use に対して to directly modify a noun. You must change it to に対する or に対しての.
