My friend is reading a book in the library. 「B」 De can be used to indicate a means or implementation: "by, with." Examples: 私は日本へ船できました。 Watashi wa Nihon e fune de kimashita.

NOTE: Kara may replace de in this usage, except when the raw material is unmistakably evident (as with paper, wood, glass, cloth, string, and leather), in which case de must be used. 「D」 De can be used to indicate the greatest (largest, smallest, least, oldest, newest, etc.) 世界で一番高い山は何ですか。 Sekai de ichiban takai yama wa nan desu ka.
