Question 1 / 10

A: Where's the kite? B: It's the desk.

Correct. "It's under the desk." — the kite is below the desk.

The pattern uses under here: "It's under the desk." "on" = top surface; "in" = inside.

Question 2 / 10

A: Where are the balls? B:

Correct. They're in the box. — plural subject uses "They're"; don't forget "the" before "box".

Plural "balls" → They're in the box. Use "They're", not "It's". Always use "the" before the location noun.

Question 3 / 10

Which preposition means "在…上面"?

Correct. on = 在…上面 (on the surface). "in" = inside; "under" = below.

on = 在…上面. "in" = 在…裡面. "under" = 在…下面.

Question 4 / 10

The robot on the chair.

Correct. "The robot" = singular → is. "The robots" (plural) would use "are".

Singular "The robot" uses is. "are" is for plural nouns (the robots, the balls).

Question 5 / 10

A: Where's the doll? B:

Correct. It's on the desk. — singular "the doll" → "It's". Always include "the" before the noun.

Singular "the doll" → It's on the desk. Use "It's" not "They're", and include "the" before "desk".

Question 6 / 10

The dolls under the desk.

Correct. "The dolls" = plural → are. "The doll" (singular) would use "is".

Plural "The dolls" → are. Singular nouns use "is"; plural nouns use "are".

Question 7 / 10

You want to ask about the location of a yo-yo. Which question is correct?

Correct. Where's the yo-yo? — "Where" asks about location; singular "yo-yo" uses "Where's" (= Where is).

Where's the yo-yo? — "Where" = location. "What" = identity. Singular uses "Where's" not "Where are".

Question 8 / 10

A: Where are the kites? B:

Correct. They're under the chair. — plural "kites" → "They're"; always use "the" before the location.

Plural "kites" → They're under the chair. Use "They're" not "It's", and include "the" before "chair".

Question 9 / 10

Which sentence is correct? 哪個句子正確？

Correct. The balls are on the desk. — plural subject "balls" pairs with "are".

(B) is correct: The balls are on the desk. Plural "balls" needs "are"; singular "ball" needs "is".

Question 10 / 10

"在…裡面" is expressed by the preposition ___

Correct. in = 在…裡面 (inside). "on" = top; "under" = below.

in = 在…裡面. "on" = 在…上面. "under" = 在…下面.
