In daily life, do Koreans pronounce 데에 clearly? or do they just mix it to 데 ?

I wrote "there is a chair in the center of the room" but it wasnt accepted. How can I tell when its "there is" VS "the chair is"?

[Pamela909830]

I have this same question. I typed, "There is a chair in the center of the room." Why is that wrong?

[AngeliqueT17]

Why wasn't "middle of the room" accepted? Isn't that the same as "centre of the room"?

[LiKenun]

It seems to be accepted now. (2017-09-16)

Would "의자가 방의 가운데에 있습니다" work? I remember reading about using 의 in the tips for this lesson, yet it seems it's been omitted. I'm assuming that's because of colloquial language removing it for efficiency's sake. How wrong am I with all of this? lol
