【JLPT N5 Grammar】The particle "へ"

The particle 「へ」 is used to indicate the direction toward which someone or something is moving. Although it’s written as 「へ」, it is pronounced "e" (not "he"), and it typically follows the place or destination that is the goal of the movement. Unlike 「に」, which also indicates a direction, 「へ」 focuses more on the general direction or path rather than the specific endpoint.
