The sofa is in front of TV.

The sofa is in front of the TV.

The English article "the" is used to refer to a specific object.


The cushion is on the sofa.

This is a correct sentence.


There are pictures on the wall.

This is a correct sentence.


There are many boxes next to the sofa.

This is a correct sentence but be careful with your quantifier.

There are some boxes next to the sofa.


The vacuum cleaner is in between the sofa and many boxes.

The vacuum cleaner is in between the sofa and the boxes.

You have already quantified the sofa in the previous sentence.


There is a bible on the sofa.

There is a Bible on the sofa.

Bible is a proper noun; capitalize the first letter of a proper noun.


The table is under the TV.

Although grammatically correct, this sounds strange. Do you mean to say that the TV is on the table?

The TV is on the table. 


The telephone is next to the TV.

This is a correct sentence.


The telephone is on the table.

This is a correct sentence.

However, you can put the two sentences together to form one coherent sentence, such as:

The telephone is on the table next to the TV.
