Questions & Answers about byouin de ketsueki o shirabeta.
What does で mean in 病院で?
で marks the place where an action happens.
So 病院で means at the hospital or in the hospital, in the sense that the action of examining/testing happened there.
A useful comparison:
- 病院で調べた = examined/tested something at the hospital
- 病院に行った = went to the hospital
So here, で is not marking destination. It marks the location of the action.
Why is 血液 followed by を?
を marks the direct object of the verb, meaning the thing that is being acted on.
In this sentence:
- 血液 = blood
- 血液を = blood, as the thing being examined/tested
The verb 調べた acts on 血液, so を is used.
A very literal breakdown would be:
- 病院で = at the hospital
- 血液を = blood
- 調べた = examined / tested
What form is 調べた?
