Questions & Answers about ashita wa mise ga yasumi desu.

Why is there no に after 明日?

Because 明日 is a time word, and many common time expressions can be used without に.

So 明日は is natural and means as for tomorrow.

Some time words often appear without に, such as:

• 今日
• 明日
• 昨日
• 毎日

If you added に, it would usually sound unnatural here.

What does は do in 明日は?

は marks the topic of the sentence.

So 明日は means something like:

• as for tomorrow
• regarding tomorrow

It sets the time frame first, and then the rest of the sentence tells you what is true in that time frame.

So the structure is:

• 明日は = as for tomorrow
• 店が休みです = the store is closed

Why is は written with the character は, but pronounced wa here?
