How do you correctly use particles が and は as well as に and で in Japanese?

identifies the topic of the sentence. identifies the subject of the sentence. Example:緑色好きです。 (I like the colour green). In this case, は identifies the topic of the sentence (myself - 私) and が identifies the subject of the sentence (the colour green - 緑色). identifies and indicates existence / the location of the object. indicates the location where the action takes place. Example: 私はお店行きます。お店お野菜を買います。(I am going to the shops. At the shops I will buy vegetables). In this case, に identifies the existence of the shops that I am going to. で indicates the location (the shops - お店) where the action (buying vegetables - お野菜を買います) takes place. Example: 車はお外止めています。(The car is parked outside). In this case Ni identifies the location (outside - お外) of the object (the car - 車).
