Language View
In your native language
English commonly uses prepositions and place adverbs to show location.
She is in the kitchen.
in the kitchen = location
In your learning language
Location is commonly expressed with estar/haber plus prepositions such as en, sobre, debajo de, cerca de.
Estoy en casa. Hay un libro en la mesa.
I am at home. There is a book on the table.
Learners often confuse estar for location with ser and overuse direct translations of English prepositions.
Same block, different coding
Both languages use this block strongly, but they signal it differently. Focus on form changes, not only meaning.
