Thank you!
oh no....
literally books have been written on this.
personally, I have given up on trying to understand this academically and simply try to"feel it out" most of the time. for me, most of the time, the difference mostly has to do with what you are placing emphasis on in the sentence...
but, be that as it may:
Japanese Particles - use of particle wa and ga
not a book, but pretty useful
