介词“在”

HSK 1Lesson 9
The preposition 在 (at / in + action)
结构Pattern
主语在地方动词 (+ 宾语)
他儿子在医院工作
我在学校看书
王明在家喝茶
解释Explanation

“在 + 地方”放在动词前面,说在哪儿做某事:主语 + 在 + 地方 + 动词(+ 宾语)。注意:地方要放在动词前面,不能放在后面。

在 + place can also come before a verb to say where an action happens: subject + 在 + place + verb (+ object). Unlike English, the place goes before the verb, never at the end: 他在医院工作 (literally "he at hospital works").
