For those who have or currently learning the Japanese language, you must know what it is. Yes, the answer is particle!

Particles in English are not too different from the Japanese's. Particle is a word that its function is to connect one word to another, so the sentence will have a meaning. There are many particle exist in the English language, such as in, up, down, to, off, by, etc. There are so many variant that even you can make a word that has its own meaning to become a particle, like yes, and no are sometimes described as a grammatical particles for some reason. So it can be whatever words that can connects one word to another.

Sounds easy? Hold your thoughts there! Because here comes the particles in Japanese. What makes Japanese particle is hard to learn is the way of choosing the correct particle in forming a sentence. Why difficult? That's because it requires you some degree of common sense in the Japanese language.

I will give you an example sentence that you can try filling up the gaps with particle to use correctly. Good luck!

学校＿帰った途端＿私＿お母さん＿お説教＿受けました。

(As soon as I came home, I got scolded by my mother)

You can answer the question above after taking a look of the list of Japanese's particle below!

This difficulty can be found because sometimes people are uncertain which one to use when forming a sentence to make it on point. Even native speakers that I've talked to often to be confused and take a stop halfway to choose the possible correct particle.

The importance of the particles in Japanese language will reside because if you picked the wrong particle, you sentence will sounds very weird!
