N5 Grammar: へ (e) Particle

へ (e) Particle

The particle 「へ」 is used to indicate the direction toward which someone or something is moving. Although it’s written as 「へ」, it is pronounced “e” (not “he”), and it typically follows the place or destination that is the goal of the movement. Unlike 「に」, which also indicates a direction, 「へ」 focuses more on the general direction or path rather than the specific endpoint.

Meaning: Direction of movement (toward, to)

For example:

学校がっこうへ 行いきます。
I will go to school.

あとで 図書館としょかんへ 行いきます。
I will go to the library later.

日曜日にちようびは 学校がっこうへ 行いきません。
I don’t go to school on Saturday.

家うちへ 帰かえります。
I will go home.

友達ともだちと 日本にほんへ 来きました。
I came to Japan with my friend.
