れい）（げつようび）たかはしさんはおとといしんかんせんでとうきょうにいきました。
rei getsuyoubi Takahashisan wa ototoi shinkansen de toukyou ni ikimashita

Here in the example describes his activity on Monday (getsuyoubi). What you have in the chart on Monday
is a bullet train (shinkansen) heading to Tokyo. Please make sure that the time expression in the sentence
has been replaced from げつようび (getsuyoubi / Monday) to おととい (ototoi / the day before
yesterday) . Therefore the translation of the answer sentence in Japanese becomes as below.
Mr. Takahashi went to Tokyo by Shinkansen the day before yesterday.
Note that you also have to conjugate the verb to an appropriate tense. In the case of the example, the
activity took place prior to Wednesday, so the verb should be in past tense.

Here in #2 describes his activity on Wednesday (suiyoubi). What you have in the chart on Wednesday is
that Mr. Takahashi stays home. That means he will/did not go anywhere. The time expression in the
sentence should be replaced from すいようび (suiyoubi / Wednesday) to きょう (kyou / today) .
Therefore the translation of the answer sentence in Japanese becomes as below.
Mr. Takahashi will/did not go anywhere today.
Since his activity is not designated on any particular time of the day, we can either describe it as his plan
(future) or as his completed activity (past) for the day. Also when you describe that a person does/will/did
not make any action to make travel, you use どこも + verb in negative.
