Prepositions like "di" are used to indicate location, and adjectives follow the nouns they modify, as seen in "pantai berbatu" (rocky beach) and "laut yang tenang" (calm sea). The relative pronoun "yang" is used to introduce descriptive clauses. Conjunctions like "dan" are used to connect similar grammatical elements, such as adjectives.
