1 Grammar Point 2: Describing the locations of objects
第四課文法二 Grammar Point 2: Describing the locations of objects

2 Quick REVIEw We’ve learned that there are two verbs to use when describing that “…something exists.” Which word do you use for living things? Which word for non-living objects? There is a cat over there (far away) あそこにねこがいます。 The hotel is over there (far away)     あそこにホテルがあります。

3 Where is the mcdonalds? When presented with the question:
   マクドナルドはどこですか。          Where is the McDonalds? You can easily answer with:    マクドナルドは (ここ そこ あそこ)です。 *Note: Why did we not use が?

4 Describing locations with more detail
This chapter, we will learn to describe things using a little bit more detail… In order to do so, we’ll need to use new vocabulary:

5 Word Meaning みぎ    Migi Right ひだり   Hidari Left まえ   mae In front of うしろ ushiro Behind なか naka Middle/inside うえ     ue Above/on top of した shita Below/under そば     soba Near となり tonari Next to あいだ    aida In between (A と B の)

6 How to use these words When using these words, we will be using the particle の. We know that の is often used for ownership of an item. It can also be used as the English word: “of” EX. せんせいのまえ。。。 In front OF Sensei…

7 USE THIS FRAME TO Make A Sentence
                           {みぎ}                            {ひだり}                            {まえ}                            {うしろ} (Place/Thing) は (another place/thing) の {なか} です。                            {うえ}                            {した}                            {そば}                            {となり}

8 Guided Practice Write the following sentences into Japanese:
1. The bank is next to the library. ぎんこう は としょかん の となり です。 2. The umbrella is under the desk.   かさ は つくえ の した です。

9 USING AIDA (In Between)
If you want to say that something is in between two objects, there is a slight change to the format: Place/Thing は (1st Place/thing) と (2nd Place/thing) の あいだ  です。 EX. レストランはデパートとびょういんのあいだです。 The restaurant is between the department store and hospital.

10 You can use “で” to further describe where something happens
Ex. 私はマクドナルドのまえでメアリーさんをまちます。 I will wait for Mary in front of the McDonalds.

11 Write the following sentences into Japanese:
1. The hat is under the desk. ぼうしはつくえのしたです。 2. Rhea is next to Adanya.    Rhea さん は Adanya さん の となりです。 3. The bus stop is in front of the super market.    バスていはスーパーのまえです。 4. Josh is behind Lizet.    Josh さん は Lizet さん のうしろです。 5. The cat is between the dog and the bread.    ねこはいぬとパンのあいだです。
