Exercise 1
Step 1
1 of 2
The particle ‘で’ has fewer applications than the particle ‘に,’ for example, but it does have more uses than just the one we learned in Chapter 3. We’ll cover these uses in later chapters, but just know that if you see the particle ‘で’ referring to something other than a place, it might be a correct usage that you have not yet learned.
To express where an activity takes place, we use the particle ‘で.’ Because the activity in this question is studying (‘べんきょうします’), we’ll use an appropriate word that we have already learned:
学校で勉強します。
がっこうでべんきょうします。

Exercise 4
Step 1
1 of 2
As we learned in Chapter 3, the particles ‘に’ and ‘へ’ can both mean ‘to’ or ‘toward.’ ‘へ,’ however, is more commonly found in formal and written language.
To express that an action is happening toward or to a location, we use the particle ‘に’ or ‘へ.’ Because the activity in this question is going (‘いきます’), we’ll use an appropriate word that we have already learned:
トイレに行きます。
トイレにいきます。

Exercise 5
Step 1

As we learned in Chapter 3, the particles ‘に’ and ‘へ’ can both mean ‘to’ or ‘toward.’ ‘へ,’ however, is more commonly found in formal and written language.
Many Japanese words have multiple versions that mean the same thing but express different levels of politeness. For example, the word ‘家’ can be said as ‘いえ’ (the most basic, straightforward word that refers to the building of a ‘house’) or it can be said as ‘うち’ (a more casual word for ‘house’ that refers to the place where one makes a home). Note that it is not uncommon to see ‘うち’ spelled in hiragana, even though it formally uses the ‘家’ kanji. Choosing the right word for the right situation is important not only to sound natural but also to show the correct amount of respect and deference.
To express that an action is happening toward or to a location, we use the particle ‘に’ or ‘へ.’ Because the activity in this question is returning (‘かえります’), we’ll use an appropriate word that we have already learned:
うちに帰ります。
うちにかえります。
