Review Summary
- [Noun] を [Verb]
- [Time/Place] に [Verb]
- [Place/Tool] で [Verb]
- [Destination] へ [Movement Verb]
اشتباهات رایج
You cannot use で with movement verbs to mark a destination. で is for where an action occurs, but movement is 'to' a place.
に cannot mark the object you are eating. You must use を for direct objects.
If you are performing an action like eating, you must use で to mark the location, not に.
