What’s the difference between NにNがあります and NはNにあります?
NにNがあります:emphasize the N before が
NはNにあります:emphasize Nにあります
You will learn the difference between が and は in particle course. No worries.
I think 家に犬がいます means “There is a dog at home”
“I have a dog at home ” is 私は家に犬を飼っています
For 公園に木があります, is there any way to easily tell if it’s “There are trees in the park” vs “There is a tree in the park?”
Use Counter.
公園に何本の木があります
公園に一本の木があります
