います, です、ます
I found this sentence translated in a book:
I will be there tomorrow.
私は明日そこにいます
わたしはあしたそこにいます
I am confused by います.
Is います a verb here, or is this a conjugation of そこ?
Could います be replaced by ます or です?
? 私は明日そこにます
? 私は明日そこにです
ありがと！

Is います a verb here, or is this a conjugation of そこ?
= In this context, yes, います is a verb. います never be a conjugation of そこ (そこ is a Japanese preposition that never gets conjugated!)
Could います be replaced by ます or です?
? 私は明日そこにます
? 私は明日そこにです
= No, both are grammatical errors. Do not replace.

Thanks for the help. I got confused when I looked for います on tangorin.com. It doesn't tell you that it's a polite form of いる. Sadly, I am still easily confused by Japanese. Ueda, I like the japanesewithanime page. Thank you for the link.
