Review Summary

- Subject + Verb + till + Noun
- Preposition + Noun
- Adverb + Verb + Subject
Errores comunes
You used 'i' (in) instead of 'till' (to). 'I' means you are already inside, 'till' describes the movement towards.
Unless the book is literally inside a hollow table, use 'på' for surfaces.
While word order can vary, keeping the subject early is standard for beginners.
