Sa is used when you aren't using the locative trigger, because you need to
indicate where something is happening, since the verb isn't telling you
that the verb is occuring somewhere, so you need sa to indicate that.

It's easier (for me) to think of it as a preposition, because it indicates
where something is happening (some grammar books will call it a
locative/directional marker).
