はおいしいです。
Hello, everyone.
My native language is English, and I'm still studying Japanese.
I have many questions about particles.
To start, I know that が and は are both used similarly.
が as a topic marker, and は for the topic marker.
However, I still don't fully understand the differences between them.
For example...
What would the difference be for these sentences?:
ベンさんは楽しかったです。
ベンさんが楽しかったです。
マリさんは食べました。
マリさんが食べました。
Also, I have a question about に and で.
I know that に is usually used to show where you want to go, and で is used in many ways. By means of, at, and because.
But I'm still confused in general what they would be translated as.
For example, what's the differences in these sentences?:
箸で食べました。
箸に食べました。
あの場所に行きました。
あの場所で行きました。
I'm sorry if these don't fully make sence. I'm still learning the language.

It's really simple だから foreigners make so many mistakes.
に can have several functions but basically it indicates direction.
で is marking a point (kind of like at)
マクドナルドに行きます!
マクドナルドで食べました.
は and が can be more difficult.
Rather than both being topic markers, it's a bit more like は is a subject marker and が is topic.
For example,
誰が来た? is "who came?".
You couldn't say 誰は来た? . Because you cannot talk about who as a subject. Only as a topic.
I might not have helped, or even be right, but just keep at it. Eventually you get the hang of it!

(1) ベンさんは楽しかったです。---> Discribing just a simple fact or thing. Ben had a good time.
(2) ベンさんが楽しかったです。---> Stressing Ben. It was Ben who had a good time. (indirectly suggesting that I am not sure other people had their good times as well.)
(3) 箸で食べました。---> As Hashi is a tool, "で" here means "with this tool". Therefore, the sentence will be "I had it with the chopsticks". If Hashi here should happen to be a name of a place, it goes like "I had it in / at Hashi".
(4) 箸に食べました。---> We don't say like this. "に" is incorrect because Hashi is a tool plus "に" usually means "to somewhere" or "for a certain destination", which is an inappropriate Particle for Hashi.
(5) あの場所に行きました。---> OK. I went that place.
(6) あの場所で行きました。---> We donot say like this. "で" is incorrent because "行きました" suggests a movement of going from one place to another plus "で" usually means "at somewhere", which is an inappropriate Particle for "行きました"(verb).

I donot upset of course.
I just wanted to point out the fact from my experience as a Japanese.
I am not saying you are wrong either, but "ベンさんは楽しかったです。" will be less likely to mean "Ben was funny." than "Ben had a good time", in general. Surely it depends on the situation, as you say.
