"The box is on the table" - "Коробка на столе", "There is a box on the table"- " На столе коробка". The native will understand ... but the duolingo will not accept, because these are different phrases
What is the difference between в and на ? Is the same say: "на столе коробка" than "в столе коробка" ? I still can't see any pattern here
The basic meaning is:
- «В» is ‘in, inside’.
- «На» is ‘on, on the surface of’.
«В столе» would man the box is inside a drawer of the table. «На столе» means it’s placed on the table.
