Ellos estan question

Question

"Ellos estan en la parque y estan en la silla."

Is this spanish sentence correct? i would like to say they are in a park and on a chair.

Answer 1

I corrected what you wrote.

Ellos están en el parque y están en la silla.

This is how I would say it.

Están en el parque en la silla / en el banco. They are in the chair / on the bench in the park. Group together.

Están en el parque y en la silla / en el banco. They are in the park and in the chair / on the bench. Group apart.

Answer 2

"Ellos estan en la parque y estan en la silla."

Even though Andre has corrected your sentence, this is a very elementary way of speaking that would only appear in a textbook because it gives the impression that these people are in two different places. It would be better to connect the park and the bench by saying something like "Ellos están en el parque sentados en un banco."
