Location words

How to describe one thing regarding to another? We just use の to connect the object and the location. For example:

• Glass is in front of the book.  ガラスは本（ほん）のまえです。 (Glass is book's front)
• Book is on the table. 本は机（つくえ）の上（うえ）です。 (Book is desk's top)

Here are some more location words in a chart:

• なか inside; うえ on; した under; ひだり left; みぎ right.

• まえ front; うしろ back; あいだ between.
• when we use 'あいだ', we can say, the book is in between of glass and flower which is "本は ガラスと花（はな）のあいだです。"

Adjectives

There are two kinds of adjectives, い-adjectives and な-adjectives. I just start to learn adjectives this week, I will come back to this post and add more information next week. Below is the most simple sentence with adjectives.

い-adjectives
ちいさい		Regular	Negative
	Present	ちいさいです	ちいさくありません
		It’s small	It’s not small
	past	ちいさかったです	ちいさくありませんでした
		It was small	It was not small
いい (irregular)	Present	いいです	よくありません
	past	よかったです	よくありませんでした

When it's negative, use く instead of  じゃ. 

な-adjectives
しずかな		Regular	Negative
	Present	しずかです	しずかじゃありません
		It’s quiet	It’s not quiet
	Past	しずかでした	しずかじゃありませんでした
		It was quiet	It was not quiet

Compare with  い-adjectives, な-adjectives is much more simple to use in sentences. Just forget the な, everything else is the same.
