Lets just all take a moment to remember that eventually you will understand them. I’ve always known basically what は does, but recently I realized what it ACTUALLY does. However I couldn’t explain it for the life of me. Actually grasping how to use に、で、and へ also feels pretty nice. Don’t give up fellow Japanese learner your time will come!
Inspirational! Thanks! Still iffy about に and を though I do know what both do, and understand what は and が do (sorta. When parsing longer, multi-claused sentences, I am totally lost) but this helps! Thanks again!
Particles define the function a word plays in a sentence. =)
を marks the direct object (the thing that has the verb done to it). に can mark a large number of things, sadly, but usually you’ll see it marking the time-of-action, the location-of-existence, the destination-of-motion or the indirect object (the beneficiary of the verb being done).
Your welcome! Joel I understood all that stuff and the basic definition of all of them. Thank you anyway though! It’s hard to explain, there was always the few examples that I would have no idea what the particle was doing. I think enough exposure to them helped me grasp their purpose too. ^.^ Good luck to both of you with your studies!
