"There is a large forest near the water."

Translation: 물 가까이에 큰 숲이 있어요.

[SvedishPlumber]

Can someone help me understand why 큰 숲이 물 근처 있어요 isnt correct?

[Maru..]

That's right, too.

[PaulJones279857]

It is correct

[Staszek456]

It's probbably considered incorrect because of the lack of the location particle ~에. Though I think it would be a perfectly fine sentence in everyday speech.

[ispina1]

"큰 숲이 물 근처에 있어요" is correct.

[monochromm]

"큰 숲이 물 가까이에 있어요" is a valid formation?

[PaulJones279857]

Yes. The particle 이/가 marks the subject and you can put the subject at the back or front of the sentence. However duolingo doesn't seem to agree. I had native teachers though and they all said it was fine

[CGTokki]

Yes

[becoolordiebitch]

Why "물 갂아이에 큰 숲이 있습니다" is incorrect? Why should I use "있어요" not "있습니다"

[Staszek456]

It's wrong because you wrote 《갂아이》instead of《가까이》
