There are over 1 million words in the English language. But do you know how many prepositions there are? There are less than 150 English prepositions.<\/p>\n

Prepositions include Above, About, Around, At, Before, Below, By, For, From, In, Of, Off, On, Over, Since, To, Under and With.<\/p>\n

This video looks at two of the most common prepositions in English, In and On, and the different ways they can be used.<\/p>\n

For example, do we sit in a chair or on a chair? \u00a0We sit in a chair, but we sit on a sofa.<\/p>\n

It seems like we should use the same preposition for both situations, because the actions are similar, but that is not the case.<\/p>\n

We get in a car, yet we get on a bus, plane or train. \u00a0When we exit, we get out of the car, but we get off of the bus, plane or train. Confusing right?<\/p>\n

Now a question for you. Where are you now? (Answer using in, on and at.)<\/p>\n

If you are a student, you might be at a Miami Beach school on the 1st floor in an English classroom.<\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
