Answer key
我的手机在桌子上。
先说已经知道的东西,后面用「在」加上地方。
王老师现在在教室里。
说某个人在哪儿,用「在」,后面跟地方。
你要的那本书在我这儿。
句子开头是大家都知道的那本书,所以用「在」。
火车站在这条路的南边。
「在」的前面是东西或者地方,后面是它所在的位置。
我家附近有两家超市。
先说地方,再说地方上出现的新东西,中间用「有」。
教室里有很多学生。
「有」的后面是新出现的、还不知道是哪个的人或东西。
这个房间里有三张桌子。
地方在前,数量在后,中间要用「有」。
书包里有几个苹果。
后面是「几个苹果」这样没说清哪几个的东西,用「有」。
学校对面是我们公司。
后面的地方是大家都知道的,说那儿就是它,用「是」。
超市的旁边是那家医院。
「那家」说的是已经知道的那一个,前面用「是」。
我家的左边是他们家。
「他们家」不是新东西,所以这里用「是」,不能用「有」。
书店的后面是那个小公园。
「是」说那个地方就是它,「有」说那儿出现了一个新东西。
