H16 · Particles は, へ, を
Goal: read 2 phrases with は, へ, を as particles.
Before you start
This lesson assumes what you saw in the earlier ones. If something feels shaky, go back to it:
What you learn
As particles, は is read wa, へ is read e and を is read o. We split the words in romaji so each particle stands out.
Trace practice
Go over the shape with your finger, mouse or a stylus. It is free practice: it does not count towards passing the lesson.
Phrases
You practise them in kana; underneath you can see how they are usually written.
- ほんをよむhon o yomuto read a bookUsually written 本を読む
- いえへいくie e ikuto go homeUsually written 家へ行く
Practice
Three rounds: you read each phrase and type its romaji, pick what it means and complete the phrase with its particle. No romaji on screen.
To review
What you practise here comes back in your daily review when it is due.
Reading in context
A short text written only with the kana and grammar you already know. Read it and answer.
