In a sentence

ろうか廊下hallwayはこboxあるthere is

There's a box in the hallway

How it works

This is the “there is X in a place” pattern. The location 廊下ろうか (hallway) comes first, marked by (in) to set the scene, then はこ (box) is pointed out as the subject by (subject). The verb ある (there is) is used for inanimate things — a box can't move on its own, so it gets ある (there is) rather than いる (there is (living)).
