Thank you for your teaching , Miss Ceema . I used to confuse about these two words using on English practice before . Now , I had firmly known the in and on these two prepositions using .
I find this particular topic very interesting. Think about these prepositional sentences. "She is sitting ON an armchair." "She is sitting ON a wheelchair." Although they are both surfaces that you sit ON they are also semi-enclosed by arm rests. I believe this allows you to use 'IN' instead of 'ON'. Listen to these sentences now. "She is sitting IN an armchair." "She is sitting IN a wheelchair." Very interesting but in this case I believe 'IN' is better.
Iam a telugu medium student,but iam happy to say that ur spoken english classes r very useful to all.i hope more developments r come in to future.thank u
well, this is interesting but incomplete, since AT proposition is part of this confusion for other non-English speaking ppl. AT is used as well for places, times (dates), etc... so I (a Spanish speaking guy) have to juggle with this proposition to choose from when it comes to deciding which one to use or fits right...
Thank you very much to clarify diff b\w 'IN' and 'ON'. I have small doubt which is "I am riding 'in' the traffic" . Is this word is correct?, give me a brief explain.
Hi Ceema, sorry if my question is too stupid, but, how you tell us to use the preposition in for city and country, could I think that these aren't a surface? Such as they have air space and under ground that is part of these? Having this as argument to use "in" for these cases?
thanks, first time I think I can use both of them safely without looking around me ;) but now we want to include 'at' to the package.. are there any helpful lesson ?
Ma'am please make a video on "the difference between in and on in a sentence" plz. This one I understood but the thing is I offen get confused on that topic. Hard to discuss it with my friends.
VERY GOOD, BUT I NEED A LITTLE BIT MORE EXPLAIN ABOUT: "PARTY HARD" What it means?, What did you write in the third part: "Used with names of Cities, ___ (?) States and Countries?" Pleas what did you write after Cities? Thanks a lot for your time.
If "in" used for enclosed space then see this example "cat is sitting on wall". Wall also physically enclosed with dimensions so why we are using on instated of in?
3 messages in my inbox. BUT WHAT ABOUT FACEBOOK? The right way to say it is, I saw your post ON Facebook. // INCOMPLETE! CAREFUL!!! The same with, I was ON a plane back to England, even though you'd say, I was waiting IN the car, you say I was flying ON the plane!!! IS EXTREMELY CONFUSING!
Thank you for the lesson. But I have one question. Why is it 'on a bus' and 'in a car'? When we are still speaking about travelling, what makes the difference?
i already know how/where to use in and on for positions. But what about when to use in and on, in a sentence without physical positions/ surface positions. ex. Tree's leaves stay green, and they go right "on" producing delicious fruit. -why "on" and not "in?" next example: Obsession "in" this matter. -why "IN" is used? why not "ON" instead?
