"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.

[PaulJonesOz]

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.

[GhosTee1]

What about the sentence requires "가까이에" rather than "근처에"? Is there a contextual reason? What is the difference in the types of "near"? Please help. :')

[LisaEeyore]

Yes I want to know the difference between 가까이에 and 근처에 too! Are they interchangeable or are they for different circumstances and how do you choose which one to use?

[monochromm]

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

[PaulJonesOz]

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

[GiovanniSantucci]

Is 물 근처에 큰 숲이 있어요 wrong?

[ki_ra_ki]

물 근처 큰 숲이 있어요
I think it's right as a korean!!!

[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》

[Hanna634729]

물 가까이에 큰 숲이 있습니다 should be accepted

[krystallia4434]

i used 근처에 instead of 가까이에 and was marked wrong when it really shouldn't be (i asked a native speaker), reported aug 4 2021

[Donnabelle626054]

why is this "물 근처에 큰 숲이 있어요" wrong?

[UlfahTriAs]

Why is '큰 숲이 물 근처에 있어요' wrong?

[OkPrecious]

"물 가까이에 큰 숲이 있습니다" 왜 안 맟아요

[Alequeue]

I tried 물 근처에 큰 숲이 있어요 and got it wrong, then changed 근처에 for 가까이에 and 있어요 for 있습니다 and got ir wrong again cause the right answer is 있어요
