に行く grammar with 行く replaced by other verbs I wonder if I can be more creative and replace with other verbs. > (1) > > (2) * Tony left the room to prepare coffee for everyone. (1) * Tony left the room and prepared coffee for everyone. (2) The first sentence sounds more natural if can be replaced with , since both Japanese verbs express direction. I want to know if I am doing it the acceptable way. Thank you. EDIT: I meant, the meaning will change depending on the last verb used. * : Go to do something * : Leave (a place) to do something A demonstrating example with even though it is irrelevant : > (3) * Yesterday Tony went to the library to study.

One of the functions of the particle is showing the purpose/goal of an action (), ie "", so you can replace , but as Chocolate helpfully corrected me in the comments, the way you express this in Japanese changes depending on whether or not the verb expresses movement.

If it is a movement verb, such as //, you use the {} form/masu stem of the action or a noun that expresses an action + + the movement verb.

Examples:


>
>
>
>

If you are using any other verb except for that, you need to add before .

Examples:


>
>
