Alternative existential sentences

Explicação da Regra:
Expressing something's existence in a certain place or location is not just limited to 在 (zài) and 有 (yǒu). The word order may be a little different from what you are used to, but 着 (zhe) and 是 (shì) are also ways to make everyday statements such as, "There is a book lying on the desk." Verbs that are paired with 着 are usually stative verbs . So unlike with action verbs , you're going to be describing an action that is kind of like just sitting there. It could be standing there, lying there, sitting there hanging there... the point is it isn't actively expending energy doing anything. Place + Verb + 着 + [Noun Phrase] Note that in English we sometimes use a verb in its "-ing" form, and sometimes use the passive "-ed" form of the verb.
