Understanding Prepositions of Place

Last weekend, Sarah decided to organise a small gathering at her house. She placed the flowers on the table in the living room and set up the decorations at the entrance. Her friends arrived by car and parked at the driveway. The children played in the garden while the adults sat on the patio enjoying the sunshine. After dinner, everyone gathered in the lounge to chat and relax. Sarah found her keys on the shelf near the door and her phone in her bag on the sofa.
