SHE IS IN THE CAR
BUT
SHE IS ON THE BUS
WHY??????
Are you confused about when to use "on," "in," and "at"? You're not alone! Even advanced English students sometimes struggle with these prepositions. But don’t worry—I’m here to help you make sense of it all.
In my latest YouTube video, we dive deep into understanding these tricky prepositions. Why do we say "in the car" but "on the bus"? What’s the difference between "in the hospital" and "at the hospital"? These are the kinds of questions I answer, and by the end of the video, I promise you’ll never have problems with this again!
Here’s a quick preview of what you’ll learn:
How the type of transportation affects whether you use "on" or "in."
The difference between talking about physical location ("at the beach") versus institutions ("in the university").
How to choose the right preposition for time, places, and addresses.
Why Prepositions Are So Tricky:
In English, it's not just about surface-level rules. You also need to think about intention. For instance, when we say "on the bus," it's because you can move around, but we say "in the car" because you're sitting inside a confined space.
And the same must be taken into account when it comes to places, time and addresses.
