Différence entre In et On - cours

Prepositions are one of the most disliked parts of speech. Many experienced writers are uncomfortable with them.

When you start learning English, you should try to identify a preposition when reading or listening and recognize its usage.

More often than not, either IN or ON can be grammatically correct. It entirely depends on what you really mean in your statements.

A preposition is used to show direction, location, time, or to introduce an object.
