Brooklyn is on Long Island. So is Queens. Brooklyn, Queens, and the rest of Long Island (which is made up of two counties, Nassau and Suffolk) all make up one big island that is actually larger than the state of Rhode Island!

Sort of, but no, not exactly. The five boroughs of New York City are Brooklyn, The Bronx, Manhattan, Queens and Staten Island. Each borough is also a county in state government: Brooklyn is Kings County, Manhattan is New York County, Staten Island is Richmond County, and the other two have the same names (Queens is Queens County and The Bronx is Bronx County). The borough of Brooklyn and Kings County are the same piece of land, but Brooklyn is the name of the borough and Kings is the name of the county.
Queens is the largest borough, followed by Staten Island, Brooklyn, The Bronx, and Manhattan is the smallest. Note that the Wikipedia entry for New York City says that Brooklyn is the 2nd largest borough, and Staten Island is the 3rd largest. That is because the land area of Brooklyn -- minus bodies of water -- is larger than the land area of Staten Island, minus bodies of water. If we go by total area -- including both land and water -- Staten Island is larger than Brooklyn.
Staten Island is southwest of Manhattan island.
The borough of Queens has the same borders as Queens County. Each Manhattan borough is also a county in state government: Manhattan is New York County, Brooklyn is Kings County, Staten Island is Richmond County, and the other two have the same names (Queens is Queens County and The Bronx is Bronx County).
