Questions & Answers about yoru ni kawa de hanabi o miru yotei da.
What does the particle に after 夜 indicate, and is it always necessary?
The particle に marks a specific point in time—“at night.” It tells you when the action happens. With some time words (like 夜, 今日, 明日), you can actually drop に in casual contexts (“夜、川で…”) and still be understood. However, using に is more standard and often clearer, especially in writing or more formal speech.
Why do we use the particle で after 川, instead of に or another particle?
The particle で marks the location where an action takes place. Here, “viewing fireworks” happens at the river, so we say 川で. Using に with 川 (川に) would imply “to” the river or “being located” at the river (川にいる), but not “doing” something there.
Why is 花火 marked with を?
を indicates the direct object of the verb 見る (“to see/watch”). Since fireworks are what you’re watching, you mark 花火 with を. If you used が, as in 花火が見える, it would mean “fireworks are visible” (an intransitive nuance), not “I will watch the fireworks.”
Why does the verb 見る appear in its dictionary (plain) form before 予定?
