"V mém pokoji byl jen stůl s jednou židlí."

Translation: In my room, there was only a table with one chair.

[VladimirBa867678]

In my room, was only a table with one chair. špatně?

[realberggren]

Duo counts it wrong because it wants the word "there" in the sentence. With a different word order, you wouldn't have left it out - There was only a table with one chair in my room.

[horsthartm2]

if you put a semicolon, you must say "there", without semicolon, it should be acceptable. if you dont want to use "there" You can say as well "only a table with one chair was in my room."

[strubkin]

Was or were? Table plus chair.
