Common misconception
In Spanish, the words 'detrás' (behind) and 'debajo' (under) are used in the same way as in English, followed directly by an article and noun.
In Spanish, 'detrás' (behind) and 'debajo' are folowed by 'de' in Spanish and then the article and the noun; used like this, they are known as prepositional phrases.
