what other motion verbs use を

[letslearn]

Hi All,
I read this sentence
私は公園を散歩しました。
I strolled in the park.
Others like
車は通りを運転します
The car drove on the road.
I would have that they would need に particle.
Is there other examples of motion verbs that use を？
I know its my English brain getting involved again, but I don't see why they mark with I direct object marker.

よろしくお願いします

を is more than just a direct object marker for transitive verbs. When used with intransitive motion verbs it can mean "away from" (Xを立つ), "through" (Xを走る), "via" (Xを通じる) etc.

You've come across this を previously.
Extra を

You mixed up を with に in this thread, perhaps?

Hi guys,
Is this correct. I have two sentences.
一週間に何回公園に行きますか。 how many times per week do you go to the park?
一週間に何回公園を運動しますか。how many times per week do you exercise in the park?
よろしくお願いします

You're mixing up を and で again.

Remember that を indicates direct object. Your example would be more like "how many times per week do you exercise the park?"

 

[letslearn]

Is that because it is not an intransitive motion verb.

 

[Toritoribe]

Actually, 運動する is an intransitive action verb as same as 流れる, 歩く, 上る or 飛ぶ.

But we're not moving through the park when we exercise (at least, not necessarily) Just as in English we could say "I jog/run/walk/cycle through the park every morning." but not swap in "exercise" or "play football", which are things you generally do at/in the park.

Think of this を as not marking the location so much as the route.
These are all possible, grammatically:
公園で散歩する = take a walk at/in (within the confines of) the park
公園を散歩する = take a walk through the park (more natural than the above?)
公園に散歩しに行く = go to the park for a walk

Right let's see if I have this. I like trains so I'll use one in an example. I have をmarking the object of route.
I'm trying to say... In order to get to Hokkaido , trains must pass through a tunnel.
北海道へ行くために電車がトンネルを通りなければなりません.

Thanks in advance

 

[Toritoribe]

Indeed を indicates "the location of transfer" when used with 通る, but it should be 通らなければなりません.
