Questions & Answers about shingou de migi ni magaru to, mise ga arimasu.
Why is で used after 信号?
で marks the location where an action takes place. Here it tells us you turn at the traffic light. Without で, the sentence wouldn’t specify where you make the turn.
Why is に used after 右?
に indicates the direction or goal of movement—in this case, “to the right.” You’re not turning from the right, but toward it, so 右に曲がる is the natural way to say “turn right.”
Why is 曲がる in the plain (dictionary) form instead of the polite 曲がります?
Because it’s part of a conditional phrase with と. In Japanese, you generally use the plain form of the verb before と to express “when/if you do X, then Y happens.”
What does the particle と do in this sentence?
This と is a conditional conjunction meaning “when” (or “if”). It connects 右に曲がる with 店があります, so it literally reads: “When you turn right at the traffic light, there is a shop.”
Why is 店 marked with が instead of は?
