Not necessarily. You could put the nouns into an adverbial form, so that the word for "store" (let's call it "tes", root of te- and noun ending -s) would be agglutinated with a "to" particle (what the hey; let's just use to-) and the adverbial affix (how's -n), for a result of toten. So instead of saying that he went, and the store was arrived at, you say (using "ges" for "he" and "fol" for go past 3rd sing) "Ges fol toten". Not the quickest way for foreigners, and not the easiest way for translating, but it's very streamlined. Christopehr Wright, the he-typing-too-quickly-one
