思います grammar including て-Form


I have question regarding the following sentence in English:

I also think that holidays are good and people need it.

At first I came up with this:

> 私も休日がよくて人はそれがいると思います。

But I am not sure whether this would be the better solution?

> 私も人は休日が要ってこれがよいと思います。

Is there a specific order or rule I can apply to this?




The outer (or main) clause is just fine; 私も～と思います means "I also think that ～".
But the inner clause (the opinion itself) has several errors.

  1. First, you must use は instead of the first が, because "holidays are good" is a generic statement that is supposed to be always true. これがよい only means "this one is the better one (than the other one)".

> 休日はよくて人はそれがいる

  2. よい/いい is a [tricky adjective](https://japanese.stackexchange.com/a/57912/5010) which may mean the opposite of what you think. To avoid this, you should use もの ("thing") and say 休日はよいものだ (literally "Holidays are good things").

> 休日はよいもので、人はそれがいる

  3. 人はそれがいる is not 100% wrong in casual settings, but normally you need に before this は. This use of それ is a bit odd because それ usually refers to a specified singular object. You can repeat 休日, or omit it altogether because it can be inferred. 必要 fits better in a formal sentence.

> 休日はよいもので、人には必要だ

All in all, you can say:

>   * 私も、休日はよいもので、人には必要だと思います。
>   * 私も、休日はよいもので、人間に必要なものだと思います。
>   * 休日はよいものであり、人間は休日を必要としている、と私も考えます。
>
