Hello, I wanted to ask something about some sentences examples that are in my book. This is about the construction that tells "it happened to me (or someone) that...".

わたしはさしみをたべたことがあります。 日本のお酒を飲んだこともあります。
しかし、まだ日本人の家に泊まったはありません。

these are the sentences. The grammatical rule says that こと goes with が. In the second sentence there is も, which stands for "also". But I don't understand why in the third sentence there is a は with こと instead of が? Can someone explain why is that? How can I use them correctly?

using "は" is restrictive and using "が" is emphatic sentense.

please compare with these two sentenses as bellow.

there are many kinds of fruits in the basket. if you say:

りんごをたべたことはあります。
from this sentense, you have surely eaten apples, but we can guess you may not have eaten other fruits.

りんごをたべたことがあります。
from this sentense, you have eaten apples but also other fruits, too, but you want to mention only apples.

Anyway, in your example, it may sounds okay to use "が"in the third sentense, but there are a few things already
mentioned before the sentense, so It's better to use "は".

I think this is the most difficult part to understand Japanese grammar. I wish I could explain it better🙏but you know, Japanese pick the right word instantly, so you'll eventually get used to it☺️

please feel free to ask me if you need any help.
