We have seen in a previous section that “to be” is used in sentences to mean “is equivalent to”:
This is a pencil.
However, sometimes “to be” means “to exist”:
The pencil is on the chair. (The pencil exists on the chair.)
There is a school in Seoul. (The school exists in Seoul.)
We’ll need one more particle,
,
which means in, at, or on,
in order to make sentences like the ones above, and we’ll
need these words:
| to exist | |
| to not exist | |
| chair |
