By the cot

[snoopy5376]

I'm asked to construct a sentence based on the picture using the two words given.
This is my sentence:
She is playing with her baby sister by the cot.

My question is, is it ok to use "by the cot"? Or how can i describe the position of the girl? Thank you very much.

I'd write: The girl is playing with her baby sister that/who is lying in the cot.

FYI, that is not a cot in the picture, it is a crib*. (I do understand your assignment requires "cot".)

*I see now that this is an AmE distinction.

Thanks everyone! I got it.

If she were 'playing with her baby sister by the cot' they'd both be on the floor by the cot - quite possible, but a different picture.
