"Will you stay here?"

Translation: 你会留在这里吗？

Does “你会在这里留吗” work？

[rianwardana]

The preposition 在 (zài) can sometimes appear after the verb. This can be confusing for people learning Chinese, because in most constructions prepositions like 在 should come before the verb.

But with verbs that indicate position, movement or placement, 在 should come after. For example, 在 will almost always comes after 住，坐，etc.

In this case, 留 also indicates placement. Therefore we should place it after the word 在.

The word order confuses me. I have learnt so far that adverbs come before the verb but the adverb here is after the verb. Does 你在这里会留吗 also work?

[ZhaoSi1]

Nevermind. After some research, I have found out that 在这里 is not an adverb, but actually a complement of direction and, as a result, comes after the verb.

If you omit the 会 is it wrong grammatically, or just a different meaning?

[Gabrielle145359]

Without 会 it would be present tense, so: "Are you staying here?"

[Gabrielle145359]

or, "Do you stay here?"

[robincerutti]

你会留在那儿吗
why cant i use this one ????

[HaavGa]

You can now

[fedes16]

You shouldn't, it says "here"（这里/这儿）, not "there" (那里/那儿）.

《你会待在这里吗？》 Is also an acceptable answer for this translation
