を marking departure point

grammar

29 sentences

The particle を marks the point from which a verb of motion departs: 家を出る ('leave home'), 電車を降りる ('get off the train'), 大学を卒業する ('graduate from / leave college'), バスを降りる ('get off the bus'), 飛行場を飛び立つ ('take off from the airfield'), 階段を降りる ('descend the stairs'). A grammatical quirk where を goes beyond direct objects to mark a source of motion. Used with verbs like 出る ('exit'), 離れる ('be away from'), 降りる ('get off'), 卒業する ('graduate from').
