Grammar Notes & Usage Tips
•Use 騒ぐ with で to show where the noise is happening, like パーティーでみんなが騒いでいました (Everyone was making noise at the party).
•The subject of 騒ぐ usually comes with が, so say 子どもたちが騒いでいる (The children are making noise), not 子どもたちを騒いでいる.
•Be careful not to use 騒ぐ with a direct object (を), since it’s an intransitive verb—it describes someone making noise, not doing something to something else.
