Indicating location with "zai" before verbs
To indicate the location that a verb takes place in, 在 is used. The structure is:
Subject + 在 + Location + Verb + Object
Notice that the location is placed before the verb in Chinese, whereas it appears afterwards in English.
Some examples:
- 我 在 上海 工作。
- 我 在 酒吧 喝 喝酒。
- 他 在 图书 馆看 书。
