They are underneath.

Hi

Do you find the yellow sentence natural?

(Two friends at a restaurant)

A - I don't see any french fries in your plate.

B - Yes, they are underneath.

Thanks,

Tom

, resting directly on the table. They are underneath the chicken, they are underneath the clams, whatever, but not just "underneath" when the last thing mentioned was your plate.
