1, Most of time, when you want to suggest to do something, the easiest way is put "吧(ba)" in the end of sentence. Let's say:
我们一起走吧!
(你)吃吧!
好好玩儿吧!
2, "在(zai)", firstly it's a Verb. means 'to be at/in', the structure is always like this: Something/somebody + 在(zai) + location, for example:
我家在上海。
王力在学校。
我的书在桌子上面。
Note the last example has a word "上面(shangmian)“in the end, that's because we can not say 'My book is at table.' in Chinese, or we need to know 'table' is not the 'location', only 'table top/up'. That's why we have to say these sentences below:
他的猫在沙发下面。
李红在我前面。
3, Let's review the way Chinese say time and address:

Monday morning (星期一上午)
3 pm (下午三点)
54 Beijing Rd. (北京路54号)
Shanghai, China (中国上海)
4, Today's characters are: 家,在,靠,近
家:宀 + 豕
在:才 + 土
靠:告 + 非
近:斤 + 辶
