“What is the meaning of modifying the Noun?”
Today I share my reply to a student’s question in the JLPT All-in-One course.
I hope you will find it helpful!
==================
JLPT N3
〜によって｜because of, by means of, due to

[Chika Sensei’s reply]
こんにちは。
はい、説明(せつめい)しますね。
Difference between 〜による and 〜によって.
Aによる[Noun] ＝A modifies [Noun]
・ちか先生による授業(じゅぎょう)
・日本語による説明(せつめい)
Aによって、[sentence]
・ちか先生によって、日本語の授業が行われている。
・日本語によって、説明されました。
Modifying Noun is how we add something descriptive to nouns.
[a noun] ケーキ cake [To modify a noun] describe the cake母(はは)が作(つく)ったケーキ
The cake that my mother made [a noun] 学校(がっこう) school [To modify a noun] describe the school
父(ちち)が通(かよ)っていた学校
The school that my father used to attend.
So, “「〜による」 is used to modify a noun” means,
[a noun]
授業（じゅぎょう）
ちか先生による授業

Chika Sensei’s comments will be easy-to-understand Japanese or English according to your level.
You can ask any questions like, “How do you say this in Japanese?”, “What’s the difference between these two words?” etc.
The teacher explains to you until you are satisfied.
