Describe locations with 在 plus places and position words like 左边 and 里面.
Pattern
Subject + 在 + place / place word
Use 在 to say where someone or something is.

When to use Location Words with 在
在 works like a location verb or preposition. It anchors the person or thing to a place: 在学校, 在左边, 在桌子上.
银行在学校的左边。
The bank is on the left of the school.
书在包里面。
The book is inside the bag.
老师在教室里。
The teacher is in the classroom.
车站在前面。
The station is ahead.
Common traps
- Use 在 for location, not 是.
- Position words usually come after the reference place.
- Do not forget 的 between a noun and a position word when needed.
