Grammar JLPT Level N5 - Lesson 4
Structure of を:
Object + を
Details about を:
In Japanese, を is a particle that marks the object of an action. This means that the subject (the person or thing performing an action) is performing that action with the object being the goal/target of the action. In most cases, whatever を is attached to will not actually be 'doing' anything, but will instead have something being done to it.
- ラーメンを食べる。To eat ramen.
- 歌を歌います。To sing a song.
- 公園を歩く。To walk through a park. (The park is the object that 'walking' is being performed through)
- 建物の中を走る。To run through a building. (The inside of the building is the object that 'running' is being performed through)
