Japanese Particles: を・に・から・で

から — Marking the Source

から marks where something comes from, and pairs naturally against に. "remove ... from" is the mirror of "add ... to".

#button .activeを 追加して

= add .active to #button

#button
.activeを
追加して
DEST
PAT
VERB
to #button
.active
add (imperative)

#buttonから .activeを 削除して

= remove .active from #button

#buttonから
.activeを
削除して
SRC
PAT
VERB
from #button
.active
remove (imperative)

Only the particle and the verb differ. に is where something goes; から is where it comes from — natural opposites, best learned as a pair.

Choose the correct particle. Aim for 8 out of 10.
