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。"
