How to use Tateru: grammar notes
•Use 立てる with the particle を to show what you're standing up — for example, 「いすを立てる」 means "to stand the chair up."
•Remember that 立てる is an action you do to something else (not yourself), so don't say 「わたしが立てる」 unless you're standing something else up — say 「わたしが立つ」 if you're standing up yourself.
•To show where you're standing something up, use the particle に — like 「つくえの上に本を立てる」 (to stand the book up on the desk).
