There are three common ways to express the position of an object in a sentence by using the verbs在 zài to be in/on/at, 是 shì to be and 有 yǒu there is/are.
1、在is used to indicate the location or position of something or someone. Noun/noun phrase(Someone/something) +在(verb)+ location word
This pattern is equivalent to the English sentence pattern "something/someone is/are in some location". Here 在 is a verb meaning not a preposition 'to be in/on/at/by etc. For example:
2、有is used to indicate the existence of someone or something in particular place. location word+有+Noun/noun phrase(Someone/something) 3. When we know there is someone or something in a particular place but we want to know more specifically who he/she is or what it is, we use the pattern: Location word+是+ Noun/noun phrase(Someone/something)
For example:

Basically we can use these three common ways to express the position of an object in a sentence:

Note : However the difference between 有 and 是: A sentence with 有 only denotes what exists in a certain place, while a sentence with 是 not only indicates that a certain thing exists in a certain place, but also further specifies what that thing is.

A：我家旁边有一个公园.( Wǒjiā pángbiān yǒu yí gè gōngyuán.) There is a park next to my home.

B：是什么公园？(Shì shénme gōngyuán?) What's kind of that park?/ what's name of that park?
（B wants to know more information about that park in detail.）

A: (我家旁边)是景山公园。(Wǒjiā pángbiān) shì jǐngshān gōngyuán.

In addition,The object of a sentence indicating existence with 有is usually a general reference, while the object of a sentence indicating existence with 是is usually a specific reference. Therefore, we can say"孩子前边有个人"；but we won't say "孩子前边有妈妈". Instead, we should say "孩子前边是妈妈" or "妈妈在孩子前面".

Now let's do some exercises, try to translate these sentences into Chinese:

1. There are many students in the library.

2. He studies Chinese in Beijing.

3. The bathroom is next to the bedroom.

4. Who is on your left?

5. The bank is across from the post office.

6. The kid is behind his dad.
