を with motion verbs (path/origin)

grammar

11 sentences

The particle を used with motion verbs to mark either the path traversed (道を歩く 'walk along the road', 公園を散歩する 'stroll through the park') or the place departed from (家を出る 'leave home', 国を出る 'leave the country', 大学を卒業する 'graduate from university'). Unlike object-を, this を doesn't pair with a transitive verb — it tracks where motion happens or originates. Two related sub-uses: path (with traversal verbs) and departure-point (with exit verbs).
