Incorrect sentence in textbook?
Hi!
I have a book called "Japanese Sentence patterns for Effective Communication". In one example they translate "The train is about to leave the station." into "電車は駅をでるところです."
This をseems incorrect to me or have i missed something?

It's correct.
For example, "I'm about to leave home" is 家を出るところです。

Thank you!
I didn't know the "direct object marker" was used in this way also. I think I was fooled by the name :)
