Why is 제 used instead of 내 in 제 방 안에?

제 is the polite/humble form of 내, both meaning “my.”

• Use 제 in formal or polite contexts.
• Use 내 in casual speech among friends or family.

What is 안에, and how is it formed?

안에 = 안 (noun “inside”) + -에 (location particle).

• 안 by itself means “inside.”
• -에 attaches to nouns to mark location (“at,” “in,” “on”).
  Together, 안에 means “in/inside.”

Why is 가방 followed by 이 (가방이) instead of 을?

• 이/가 marks the subject of a sentence.

  In existential sentences with 있다, the thing that exists is treated as the subject, so we use 이 after 가방.
