Oh no, I lost my right shoe! 

There are so many shoes here, where is mine?

Here, the shoes is on top of the table:

鞋子在桌子上面 xiézi zài zhuōzi shàngmian  

The shoe is under the table:

鞋子在桌子下面 xiézi zài zhuōzi xiàmian

The shoe is on top of the chair:

 鞋子在椅子上面 xiézi zài yǐzi shàngmian

And the shoe is under the chair：

 鞋子在椅子下面 xiézi zài yǐzi xiàmian

So now you know where your right shoe is and how to say the position of an object in Chinese?

Here is a list to help you.

上面  shàngmian = top 
下面 xiàmian = bottom
前面 qiánmian = front
后面 hòumian = back
