I don't understand the construction N は place に あります/います It written like that in みんなの日本語 and I don't see how it's any different from, place に N が あります/ います.

Hi Jahura, N が あります/ います means "there is/there are". In Japanese there is not a clear difference between singular and pluraral. You need to use counters to make it clear. You can also use -たち like for example: 人たち、わたしたち。 1. N が あります is used for objects Example テブルのうえにペンが三本あります。 2.N が います is used for living things, i.e people and animals。 Example あそこに男がさんにんいます。(there are 3 men there)

Let's compare 冷蔵庫にアイスクリームがあります and アイスクリームは冷蔵庫にあります. The two sentences share the one basic meaning "There is icecream in the refrigirator". But the two are different for native speakers. There is a subtle but clear difference for native speakers. は is originally a marker for emphasis which turns to mean "topic/theme". A: あー、アイスクリーム食べたい。アイスクリームない? B: アイスクリームは冷蔵庫にあるよ。    or   アイスクリームなら冷蔵庫にあるよ(<---This is the better one) アイスクリーム from 「アイスクリームは/なら」 is a response to person B who mentioned アイスクリーム. Person B took アイスクリーム mentioned by person A as a topic of the sentence. A: 今日は暑い。なんか、冷たいもの食べたい。何かない? B: 冷蔵庫にアイスクリームがあるよ。 The sentence 「冷蔵庫にアイスクリームがあるよ」 is only a description having no theme/topic. アイスクリーム is new information which cannot be a topic. The difference between は and が is one of the difficult stuff to get for foreign learners. I think you should try hard to understand this. It is no easy.

I'm sorry, I put the wrong construction down, I meant place に N が あります / います。 Not just が あります / います。 Sorry!

日本語で存在することを現す時、一番簡単な区別の方法はこれだどう思います。 名詞(生き物) は どこ に います。 名詞(生き物以外の) は どこ に あります。
