Is 私は, 明日街に歩く correct?


I understand this may be a silly question, but I'm currently trying to teach
myself Japanese and don't have access to many resources. Am I right in
thinking - 私は, 明日街に歩く - means 'I will walk to town tomorrow"? I have not
learned about polite forms yet so I am assuming this is just the plain casual
form. If it is wrong, would you please be able to show me what I have done
wrong?

Finally, does anyone have any idea on what I should do next? I am currently
using Tae Kim's Grammar guide, is it worth getting the Genki textbooks and
using them as well?

Thank you all for taking the time to read this.




Unfortunately 私は、明日街に歩く is not grammatical. To say "to walk to the town", some
possible options are:

  * 街 **へ** 歩く
  * 街 **まで** 歩く
  * 街 **に** 歩いて **行く**

Particles に and へ are similar in purpose (both can mark a destination) and
actually interchangeable in many cases, but in this case, using に with 歩く is
not a natural option. In the last example, I combined 行く using the te-form of
歩く, and 行く can safely take both に and へ without changing the meaning.

off-topic here. But there is a list of [resources for learning
