It’s a nice graveyard isn’t it?
I’m planning to go see some red leaves next week, so I’ll post more pictures here 🙂
and I’ll insert picture instead of attach it. hehe

A graveyard on a mountain. Fall is a nice season to climb on a mountain 🙂

Hello Jim-san

How were the questions? Were they confusing? It takes time to get used to using right particles, and you are getting better and better!

Here are the answers.
１．に；と；で；に；と
２．と；に；で；に；に
３．で；を；を；に；を；に；を；まで；で；までに
４．に；に；に；で

１．昨日、家（に）友達がきたので友達（と）一緒に勉強をしました。明日は学校（で）テストがあるので、たくさん勉強しなくてはいけません。私の家（に）は大きな机があるので、友達（と: Jyopshi 4 (person-2)）勉強しやすいです。
２．来週、山田さん（と: Jyopshi 4 (person-2)）東京に行きます。東京（に）はたくさん楽しい場所があります。来週は、東京駅（で）たくさんのイベントがあります。東京（に）は人がたくさんいますが、東京駅（に Jyopshi 1 (place 1-3)）は英語の看板(かんばん)がありますから、道に迷わないと思います。
３．東京まで電車（で）行きます。電車は、京都（を）通って、名古屋（を Jyopshi 2 (place 2-3)）通過してから東京（に）到着します。京都（を）通過するときに、たくさんのお寺が見えます。夜までに東京（に）着きたいので、ここ（を Jyopshi 2 (place 2-2)）７時くらいに出ようと思います。＊¹ここから東京（まで Jyopshi 4 (time related 3)） だいたい ＊²６時間（で Jyopshi 4 (time related 5)） 行けると思いますから、３時（までに）到着すると思います。
４．東京で父（に）会う予定です。それから、一緒に買い物（に Jyopshi 3 (objective)）いきます。父の家の近く（に）いいスーパーがあるので、そこ（で）買い物をするつもりです。

＊¹ The hint of this one is ここから. から and まで can be a set, so if you see から, try まで and see if it makes sense.

＊² The hint of this one is 間. ～間 can be a set of time, so if you see 間, try で and see if it makes sense.

You did a very good job! Question number 1, 2, and 4 are mostly okay. Good improvement Jim-san 🙂

Great job Jim-san! All of them are correct!!!

Were they easy for you? I thought the “things” part can be confusing.

Here are the types of jyoshis in case you are wondering.

Number 1 and 3 are “jyoshi-person-1”
Number 5 and 8 are “jyoshi-person-2”
Number 2 and 6 are “jyoshi-things-1”
Number 5 and 7 are “jyoshi-things-2”

I will make more questions later 🙂
Good work!!

Yay! You got particle-cause right this time! Good job 🙂
The only mistake is number 2. The answer is で here. If it’s obvious what it is made of by looking at it, you should use で instead of から.

で and から are very difficult to figure out. Let’s keep doing jyoshi questions 🙂

Jim-san

It seems like particle-cause is a bit difficult for you, but you got particle-method perfectly. Here are your answers:

１．から
→に
The sentence means, “I go to Takeshi’s home to study.” So you need to use particle-objective “に.”

２．から
→で
The sentence means, “I took a day off because of sickness.” So you need to use particle-cause “で.”

３．で
→Good

４．から
→で
The sentence means, “I got sick because of obesity.” So you need to use particle-cause “で.”

５．で
→から
The sentence means, “What are humans made of?” So you need to use particle-raw material “から.”

６．に
→Good

７．で
→Good

８．に
→Good

９．で
→Good

１０．で
→Good

Numbers 1, 6, and 8 are particle-objective.
Numbers 2 and 4 are particle-cause.
Numbers 3, 7, and 9 are particle-method.
Number 10 is particle-material.
Number 5 is particle-raw material.

Good job Jim-san 😉
