Questions & Answers about kyuukeichiten to touchakuchiten o kakuninsuru.

How is this sentence read aloud?

It is read:

きゅうけいちてん と とうちゃくちてん を かくにんする。

Word by word:

• 休憩地点 = きゅうけいちてん
• と
• 到着地点 = とうちゃくちてん
• を
• 確認する = かくにんする

Also, in normal Japanese writing, it would usually appear without spaces:

休憩地点と到着地点を確認する。

Why is と used here?

と is being used to connect two nouns, like and in English.

So:

• 休憩地点と到着地点 = the rest point and the arrival point

This is one very common use of と:

• A と B = A and B

In this sentence, it links the two things that are being checked.

Why is there only one を even though there are two nouns?

Because 休憩地点と到着地点 forms one combined noun phrase: rest point and arrival point.

Then を marks that whole phrase as the object of the verb.

So the structure is:

• [休憩地点と到着地点] を 確認する
• check [the rest point and the arrival point]

This is very normal in Japanese. You do not need to put を after each noun.

What does 地点 mean, and why is it used instead of something like 場所?
