Particle を(o) review

Contents: Particle を(o) review, the “Ta” line of Katakana (ta, chi, tsu, te, to), and the “Da” line of Katakana (da, ji, zu, de, do).

Aim:  When and where do we use the particle を?

New Vocabulary:

Lesson Point:

The particle を is used after a word to signify that the word is the direct object of the verb that follows. をused to be pronounced as “wo” some centuries ago, but now the sound became more like “o” in most cases. But in writing, it is still spelled as をand neverお.
