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".

Does this poem sound good or bad?
KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

Just add proper grammar!

Explanation:

Look, it's a great poem don't get me wrong.

But proper punctuation and grammar is always a little bit more attractive and appealing to our eyes.

Let me run my eyes over it really quick and make any adjustments.

Final Draft:

Roses are red, violets are blue, The way you smile makes me swoon. Your eyes are bright, your eyes they are, but I know you shall never be mine. The days are gray, the days are sad, on the day that you have passed I wish I could tell you how I feel but you would only think of me as unreal. So today, as I weep, knowing you love me, I can finally get some sleep.

Glad I could help!!

2. Write a letter to
Anna11 [10]

Answer:

dear father,

I was wondering if there is any possible way for you to sent me a new computer . a computer would help me to research and report on a subject much faster than using a book allowing me to be more efficient. another reason is insome cases books can become outdated and no longer have correct information so I can use reliable sources that are frequently updated to always have correct information . a computer can also keep me in touch with my teachers allowing for quick clear communication.

I cant think of two other reasons but I started it off
