Why is "In the glass is a spoon" marked wrong?

[JustusRobi3]

I wrote, "there is a spoon in the glas". That should be accepted, only listed as a 'typo'.

[Alephsis405]

"The glass has a spoon" is also incorrect, why?

[KPSShreyas]

Hi
The glass doesn't possess the spoon
So Duolingo has got the translation correction.
The sentence you have written will be
'gilas ke paas chammach hai'
Btw i am a native speaker

A spoon in the glass... english speaker why is a and then the?

[Gita-ji]

Probably because it is one definite glass that has a spoon in it, but it could have been any spoon in the drawer (an indefinite one) that was put in the glass. "The" is a definite article, "a" an indefinite article.
