What is the function of 에서 in 도서관에서?

How does the expression 공부하는 동안 work?

공부하는 동안 means “while studying.” It consists of:

• 공부하다 (to study)
• -는 (present participle marker)
• 동안 (during/while)
  This structure indicates that the following statement applies throughout the time you are studying.

What’s the difference between 공부하는 동안 and 공부할 동안?

• 공부하는 동안 (“while studying”) uses -는 동안 for actions happening concurrently in the present or generally.
• 공부할 동안 (“during the time I will study”) uses -을/ㄹ 동안 when referring to a future action.
  In our sentence, we’re talking about studying as it happens, so we use 공부하는 동안.

Why is it 시간이 and not 시간을?

Here, 시간 (time) is the subject of the verb 가다 (“to go/pass”), so it takes the subject particle -이. We say 시간이 가요 (“time goes”) rather than making 시간 an object, because time itself “goes” in this expression.
