Why is đang used in the sentence?
In Vietnamese, đang emphasizes that an action is in progress at the moment. So, Lan đang nghỉ means Lan is in the middle of resting right now rather than doing it at some other time.
What does ở mean in this context?
Ở generally means "in" or "at," indicating the place where something happens. In this sentence, ở thư viện shows that Lan is physically located in the library while resting.
Why is cô ấy used instead of just repeating the name "Lan"?
