Часто задаваемые вопросы

Why are in и on difficult for Spanish speakers?
In Spanish, the word "en" can be used for both in и on. This means learners need to remember when to choose in and when to choose on in English, based on the specific meaning of 'inside' or 'on the surface'.
Can I say on the sky?
No, you cannot say on the sky. The correct preposition is in the sky because things like clouds or birds are surrounded by the sky, not just on its surface.
