Semantics of “on” versus “in”

English
1 answer:
Law Incorporation [45]3 years ago
8 0
When talking about locations: "on" means being located on top of a certain surface, and "in" inside another object: Compare on the box and in the box. This is the major difference in their meaning.

They are also used to denote a number of other relationships, such as "in December", "on Friday" but I would say that their usage there is more metaphical and idiomatic: and the major semantic difference is between "inside" and "on top of".

Can you please make it art related?
antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

My special skill is music, I play instuments, and I sing. I have made allstate many times, but this isn't due to my natural gift. This is because of my hard work and effort i put in over the school year, summer, and holidays. I go to chorus for two classes a day and sing for a total of three hours, then after that i mentor other students. When I get home from school every day i will usually also practice piano, guitar, and voice. This is the only way I can truley succeed at what i'm passionate about. Even though i have a good voice and the right style to play piano and guitar, I still need to practice so i can hone these skills and perfect them even more than I already have.

Explanation:

Hope it helps.
