〜ものだ

接続:普通形+ものだ
inherently, common sense; recall; exclamation
注意 / Note:THREE meanings, look at the divided form and separate. 動辞書形+ものだ is common sense (子どもは遊ぶものだ). 動た形+ものだ is to reminisce (よく徹夜したものだ). イ形/ナ形+ものだ is an exclamation (早いものだ).
比較 / Compare:Same article: 〜ものではない/〜というものだ. These models are often mistakenly chosen for each other — carefully read the 接続 and nuances above and then decide.
よく出る形 / Common form:普通形+ものだ。Means to reminisce or go with 昔・若い頃・よく. Exclamatory meaning often goes with 本当に.
子どもは元気に遊ぶものだ。
Children should play actively.
若い頃はよく徹夜したものだ。
When I was young, I often stayed up all night.
月日がたつのは早いものだ。
The years go by really quickly.
