Japanese Language 「Sentence Structure」 「Describing actions in the Present, Future, and Past」 The particle e or ni, when following a noun, is used to indicate the direction in which an action precedes. It means "to," "toward," "in the direction of," etc. When the particle de follows a noun, with that phrase followed by a verb, it indicates the means used to perform an action. The contrastive wa may be added to the particle e, ni (ex., 4), or de; wa is added to these particles, instead of replacing them as it does with o・を. Examples: ヒルさんは来週車でテキサスへ帰る。 Hiru-san wa raishū kuruma de Tekisasu e kaeru. Mr. Hill will return (home) to Texas next week. ヘレンさんはどこへ行きますか。 Heren-san wa doko e ikimasu ka. Where is Helen going? 来年の夏、船でハワイに行きます。 Rainen no natsu, fune de Hawai ni ikimasu. We are going to Hawaii by boat next summer. 午後、銀行へ行きます。郵便局へは行きません。 Gogo, ginkō e ikimasu. Yūbinkyoku e wa ikimasen. This afternoon I'll go to the bank. Not to the post office. Hope this helps, and see you again! じゃまたね! °˖ ✧◝(○ ヮ ○)◜✧˖ ° こゆうきあいはら °˖ ✧◝(○ ヮ ○)◜✧˖ °
