How it's formed2

All forms2

  • もちろんmochironalternant

    on its own もちろん just means "of course", answering a question alone (もちろんです). はもちろん instead needs a second item to finish.

  • はもちろんのことhamochironnokotoformal

    味あじわうはもちろんのこと

    the expanded surface, weightier and slower — announcements and written appeals reach for it (安全性あんぜんせいはもちろんのこと、価格かかくの面めんでも), everyday speech rarely does.

Notes

The second item normally carries も (or さえ, まで, だって). It drops only
when that part states something wholly new.
