fa-check-circleMeaning
① The Direct Object of a Transitive Verb

• • The most common use of 「を」 is to indicate the direct object, or the thing directly affected by the action of a verb. It tells us what is being acted upon in the sentence.

② Starting Point

• • When paired with verbs that indicate moving away or leaving, such as でる (leave) or おりる (get off), 「を」 marks the point from which the action begins.

③ Passing Point

• • 「を」 can also indicate a place that something or someone moves through or passes, often used with verbs like とおる (pass) or わたる (cross).
