Common mistakes
Ghent locates in northwestern Belgium.Ghent is located in northwestern Belgium.
动词 locate 是及物动词，表示“把…设置在某处”，表示“位于”时常用被动结构 be located。汉语“位于”影响下，学习者容易误用主动语态，所以应改为 is located。
I spent a week at Ghent.I spent a week in Ghent.
表示“在某座城市”时，介词用 in，而 at 用于具体地点或机构。汉语“在”不区分这类用法，导致介词误用，因此应改为 in Ghent。
