what is the difference between nel and nello?

I believe nel is (in + il) and nello is (in + lo)

For an explanation on "lo" see the link below:

I'm new to Italian too, but knowing some French helps pick up some of these concepts. Hopefully someone with a higher level can clarify.

I'm confused between "al" and "nel".

[giltur29]

al = to the
nel = in the
I'm new to Italian, but I think this is correct

[Johne59]

Why does è come first?

[R.Hidekki]

It is the verb " to be " I know spanish and it's very similar
