つまが 病気のとき、会社を休みます。 - 12-01-2020, 03:52 PM

こんばんわ,

I'm just starting to learn about とき [when...]
Then I came across this sentence, and have a little question on the use of 病気.

As far as I understand, it acts as a noun describing 'condition or state' of the subject, the same way like 雨 or ゆき do.

The use that I understand:
- 今日 雨です。
- わたし 病気です。

So in this case of つまが 病気のとき、会社を休みます。 why is it not つま 病気のとき、 ? As to my understanding, が is used with an adjective, or when you say you "have" something.

Please advise, thanks a lot in advance
ありがとうございます

WhiteDay.
