Places in town Tempat di kota
Tempat dan letaknya: place, school, hospital, bank, station, park, next to, behind, in front of, near. Tata bahasa inti adalah "Where is …?" dan menjawab dengan preposisi tempat: The bank is next to the shop. Dalam bahasa Inggris kata kerja "is" langsung setelah subjek: bank + IS + next to the shop. Bahasa Korea menaruh kata kerja di paling akhir, jadi penutur Korea berkata "The bank next to the shop is" ✗ → "The bank is next to the shop" ✓. Sudut pengucapan: "hospital", bunyi "-tion" pada station, dan menyambung "next to".
Dialogue

- Emma In English, "is" comes after the bank: The bank is next to the shop. Dalam bahasa Inggris, "is" setelah the bank: The bank is next to the shop.

Grammar
"Where is …?" and place words "Where is …?" dan kata tempat
To ask where something is, say "Where is" + the place: Where is the bank? To answer, put the subject first, then IS, then the place word: The bank is next to the shop. Other place words: behind (The park is behind the school), in front of (The station is in front of the hospital), near (The bank is near the park). The important thing is word order: subject + is + place. Korean puts the verb at the very end ("The bank the shop next to is"), so in English remember to bring "is" up right after the subject.
Untuk bertanya sesuatu ada di mana, ucapkan "Where is" + tempat: Where is the bank? Untuk menjawab, taruh subjek dulu, lalu IS, lalu kata tempat: The bank is next to the shop. Kata lain: behind (The park is behind the school), in front of (The station is in front of the hospital), near (The bank is near the park). Yang penting urutan kata: subjek + is + tempat. Bahasa Korea menaruh kata kerja di paling akhir ("The bank the shop next to is"), jadi dalam bahasa Inggris ingat bawa "is" langsung setelah subjek.

- The park is behind the school. Taman ada di belakang sekolah.
