先年__日本へ行きました.
Does this need a particle of any kind? I'm not so sure.

[Hatredcopter]

No, you don't need one. I'd use 去年　rather than 先年, though.

[imeka]

But then, what kanji is this:去 I'm limited to only the words I know.

[DragonShade]

I think you could put　は　Like 来週はｘｘｘｘｘｘｘ

去年 - kyonen - last year
i would use this also.
there is no need to put a particle there.

[imeka]

thank you everybody this was very helpful. But I don't think my sensei will let me use 去年　because no one learned it in class. we use rainen because we had just learmed the kanji for kimasu and so on.

can "dake" take the place of particle "wa" ?

No, it can't. Even 'wa' has no place in that sentence. Put anything immediately after 昨年 and it will change the meaning of the whole sentence.

You can say 「昨年は日本へ行きました。」　ONLY WHENyou have just said something like "I went to England in 2005. In 2006, I went to France."
”昨年は” means 'as for last year', not just 'last year'.

We can NEVER take particles lightly.

Note: I changed the 先年　to 昨年 because I thought you meant 'last year'. The word 先年 means 'some years ago' and is seldom used in Modern Japanese.

昨年　ー　sakunen - just to pre-empt the question of how do you read that word. haha.

if you are just wanting to make a sentence with some kanji you have learnt why not use 来年 since you know that.

来年日本へ行きたい - I want to go to Japan next year.
来年日本へ行くつもりです - I plan to go to Japan next year.
