Using の with location
It can also mean “of”
[object] の [location word]
Using あいだ
It must be structured in this way:
いぬは [Item 1] と [item 2] の あいだ います
The dog is between [item 1] and [item 2]
Using location to modify
You can say the “book is on top of the table” as “te-buru の うえ の ほん”
Using ひだり and みぎ
You can further clarify the position of something by combing ひだり and みぎ with other location words (particles are not used to combine)
