Where things stand: al fons, a la dreta, damunt de la taula

A kitchen is described exactly: who stands where. Al fons — "at the back": El sucreter és al fons, al costat de la nevera. For example: “El sucreter és al fons, al costat de la nevera” — The sugar bowl is at the back, next to the fridge. A rule from the Valencian course: worked out on examples, not memorized as a wording.

How it works

A kitchen is described exactly: who stands where. Al fons — "at the back": El sucreter és al fons, al costat de la nevera.

A la dreta and a l'esquerra — on the right and on the left. La cafetera és a la dreta de la finestra.

The third helper is al costat de, next to. Damunt de — "on the surface": Les tasses són damunt de la taula.

Do not mix it with dins de — "inside". The answer builds as a chain: first the side, then the support.

How the rule settles in your head

A rule is not memorized from an explanation. It is memorized from an attempt to use it and a mistake — that is why the app delivers it mixed in with words, not as a separate lesson: it resurfaces exactly where you forgot it.
