Lesson Point:

 

1.    います: As we mentioned in the previous lesson,  the verbあります(arimasu) means  “There is” or “There are” for inanimate objects like phone, car, map, plants and chair. For this lesson we are using the verb いますwhich is used for animated and living things like dog, cat, and people. The sentence structure is the same as arimasu. 

 

2.    “Ni” Particle: In the previous lesson we introduced the “ni” particle and one of its many uses.  We discussed how used with prepositions and we gave the following examples for how is used with あります.   We gave you these examples:  うえにへyaがあrima(Ue ni heya ga arimasu) which literally means “At the up(stairs), there is a room.” and  へやはうえにあrima(Heya wa ue ni arimasu)  which means “The room is upstairs”.  can be used in the same way with います.  Please see the following examples: おとうさnはうえにいます(Otousan wa ue ni imasu) which means Dad is upstairs orうえにおとうさnがいます(Ue ni otousan ga imasu) which can be translated as “At the upstairs, there is Dad”.
