    emphasize “any”
    Meanings: “is, am, are” *Makes something possessive, like saying “my
    monkey,” “Jenny’s friend,” or “Bobby of Sony (i.e. Examples:
    *One thing to know about は is that it’s not Sony’s Bobby).”
    pronounced “ha” but pronounced “wa” わたしも
    は emphasizes what comes after it Examples: Me too / Me also
    が emphasizes what comes before it
    わたし の なまえ は こういち です ボッビーさん も アイキア に 行きます
    わたし は こういち です: I am Koichi  
    My name is is Koichi Bobby also will go to Ikea
    わたし が こういち です: I am Koichi

    introducing yourself to someone, the second one It’s Bobby’s dog I didn’t eat anything
    would be more like one of those movies where one
    person has the gun pointed at two identical

    を に
    targets, where they are saying “I am Koichi” and
    “No, I’m Koichi!” The important (emphasized)
    part is the I portion, so you’d use が.

    How it’s used: All it does is shows what the direct How it’s used: Used to show what an action is
    object is. Used when you’re directly doing directed to, and also shows destinations,
    あの がくせい は ばか です

    examples below) や：Used to list nouns when you aren’t listing
    くるま で いきます
