日本語のおしゃべり

Japanese Language
「Sentence Structure」

With certain verbs, the te iru form can express an action that takes place over a period of time-a regular or habitual action like "living" in a place or "working" for a company. The particle of ni is used with such verbs to express such meanings indicates the place where the static action (i.e., "living," "working," etc.) occurs.

Examples:
オルソンさんは日本の会社に勤めている。
Oruson-san wa Nihon no kaisha ni tsutomete iru.
Ms. Olson works for a Japanese company.

娘の秋子は演劇学校に行っています。
Musume no Akiko wa engeki gakkō ni itte imasu.
My daughter Akiko goes to drama school.

ヤングさんは高校で英語を教えていた。
Yangu-san wa kōkō de eigo o oshiete ita.
Mr. Young was teaching English at high school.

Hope this helps!
