We use <span data-no-translation>in<\/span> when something is inside a space or container, like <span data-no-translation>The book is in the bag.<\/span> This means the book is *inside* the bag. We use <span data-no-translation>on<\/span> when something is on a surface, like <span data-no-translation>The apple is on the table.<\/span> This means the apple is *touching the top* of the table. And we use <span data-no-translation>under<\/span> when something is below another thing, like <span data-no-translation>The cat is under the chair.<\/span> This means the cat is *below* the chair, not touching it. These words are very important for describing locations in English. Learning them helps you speak and understand simple sentences about where objects and people are. Practice with examples to remember them easily and improve your basic English communication.<\/div>\n<h2>What Are Prepositions of Place?<\/h2>\n<p>Prepositions of place are small words.
