Questions & Answers about suupaa de pointokaado o dashitara, tamago ga sukoshi yasuku narimashita.
Why is で used after スーパー?
で marks the place where an action happens.
- スーパーで = at the supermarket
- The action here is ポイントカードを出した = showed/took out the point card
So スーパーで tells you where that action happened.
Compare:
- スーパーで買いました = I bought it at the supermarket
- スーパーに行きました = I went to the supermarket
Use で for the location of an action, and に for destination/existence in many cases.
Why is を used in ポイントカードを出した?
を marks the direct object of the verb.
Here, the verb is 出す, which in this context means to take out / present / show.
So:
- ポイントカードを出す = to show/present a point card
The thing being presented is ポイントカード, so it takes を.
What does 出す mean here? Is it literally to take out?
