Introduction

Particle is something attached to the end of word to express the relationship between words.

Note:

You can’t use particle alone. Particle must be attached to something else (noun, verb, adjective, etc.).

Types of Particles:

There are many particles in Japanese.
But in modern Japanese, particles can be divided into four types:
①case particle
②conjunction particle
③adverbial particle
④sentence-ending particle

Notes:
①We will learn case particle in this course because this is the most important type.
②In order to make your life easier, I changed the text color to red for all particles in this course.

Case Particle:

Case particle is usually attached to a noun to express the relationship between this noun and other words. (noun, verb and adjective).

Examples:

Japanese	English
庭にわの花はな	Flowers in the garden
山やま田ださんと田た中なかさん	Mr.Yamada and Mr.Tanaka
机つくえの上うえに本ほんがあります。	There is a book on the desk.
本ほんを読よみます。	I will read a book.
10じゅう時じから授じゅ業ぎょうを始はじめます。	I will start the class at 10 o’clock.
