STARRING:
Mr. Dan, Humphrey the Gecko
ENGLISH LESSON:
Prepositional phrases using "on" and "in"
SYNOPSIS:
Mr. Dan was talking about the difference between "on" and "in", when suddenly a gecko appeared ON the table! The gecko climbs ON the wall, crawls ON the floor, gets IN a car, sits IN a chair, and then finds himself IN a bird's mouth before falling back ON the table! The gecko does all these things to the tune of a well-known Indonesian song about geckos, "Cicak di Dinding".
ENGLISH TIPS IN THE VIDEO
When the gecko sits IN the chair, many non-native English speakers get confused. Shouldn't we say ON the chair?
Good question. It all depends on what type of chair it is! If the chair has no arms, such as a stool, you would sit "ON the chair". However, if the chair has arms and is rather comfortable, you would sit IN the chair.
The English language has many small, tricky details like that. Don't let it frustrate you. You can be a fluent speaker if you keep learning and don't give up!
