Prepositions of place: in, on, under

Explanation

To say where something is, use in, on, or under before the noun: in the bag, on the table, under the chair. "in" = inside, "on" = touching the top, "under" = below. The preposition comes first, then the noun — English puts the place word before the thing. With "be", you get: It is on the table. The cat is under the chair. The pen is in the bag. Note: in many languages the place marker follows the noun, but in English it leads.

Examples

  • It's on the table.It's on the table.
  • The cat is under the chair.The cat is under the chair.
  • The pen is in the bag.The pen is in the bag.
  • Is the dog under the table? — No, it's on the chair.Is the dog under the table? — No, it's on the chair.
