Never make these mistakes in Chinese 07

Foreigners often make some strange mistakes in Chinese when they study the most difficult language— —Chinese. We try to analyze typical sentences to correct these errors.

         Wǒ bǎ nà zhāng huà guà zài wūzǐ de qiáng lǐ le.
False: 我把那张画挂在屋子的墙了。
         Wǒ bǎ nà zhāng huà guà zài wūzǐ de qiángshàng le.

True: 我把那张画挂在屋子的墙了。
把画挂在墙里,不符合常理。实际上是把那张画挂在墙的表面。应改“里”为“上”。
It is against the common sense to "hang the picture in the wall". The actual case is "hang the picture on the wall". So 里 should be used instead of 上.
