Indicating Direction with the Particle e (p102)
For verbs of coming and going two particles may be used to mark destination
The particle e is used to mean “in the direction of”
The particle ni is used to mean a definite destination
The two particles can be used interchangeably to mark destination
The particle e can only be used with verbs of motion (i.e., it is never used to mark
location of existence)
Examples:
watashi wa tōkyō ni ikimasu.
I am going to Tokyo.
watashi wa gakkō e ikimasu.
I am going to (towards) school.
