Gakkoo ni arimasu.
It is in the school.

There is a resturaunt.
Sore.
That one.
Kore.
This one.

That one over there.
Doko desu ka.
Where is it?

Anata wa kimasu.
You come.

When we state the existance of something we use 'ga'. Also, when we use a
sentence to explain who or what does something we use ga. For example:
Hon ga arimasu. =There is a book.
Nani ga arimasu ka. =What is there?
Notice the words koko,soko,asoko,doko. The beginings of these words reappear
in other words.For example:
kore=this one sore=that one are=that one over there dore=which one?
koko=here soko=there asoko=way over there doko=where?
`Wa' means `speaking of'. `Watashi wa uchi e kaerimasu'=`speaking of me;
I will return home'...or....`I will return home'.
Anata wa Nihongo benkyoo o shimasu. = You study Japanese.
Kore wa nani desu ka. = What is this?
The difference between wa and ga is a difficult thing to master.
If we cut off the masu part of the verb and in it's place put -`mashoo'
we get the mashoo form. It means `Let's ....'.
For example `ikimashoo' means `let's go'.
`kakimashoo' means `let's write'.
`nomimashoo ka' means `shall we drink?'
