Answer

Copier une phrase dans un carnet. -- To copy a phrase FROM a notebook.(Used this way, in my understanding, it is the notebook you copy it FROM not where you copy it to.)I copy the sentence in a book. -- This sounds a bit strange in English, but in French it means that the original sentence is in the book from which you take it and copy it to somewhere else.
