This's helped me! But there are still some things i haven't understood, which are "what's the difference between at my play time and in my play time ?" And "what's the difference between in the newspaper and on the newspaper?" Thanks a lot

[@Oxfordonlineenglish1]

Hi there. It's more common to say 'at playtime.' For the newspaper, we use 'in' to describe content written in the newspaper and 'on' if there is a physical object on top of the newspaper, such as a pair of glasses. Hope this helps you!

[@marfrozy1388]

Thankfully, I understand you very, teacher, well without subtitles. Thank you so much, it's a little bit hard to keep all these exhaustive lists of uses only if we are advanced or specialist so we should get used to the language for making it simple. I think native speaker themselves aren't able to remember all the list and they make it work automatically and naturally. Thank you so much, TEACHER DANIEL.

If I say " Please read and follow the instructions on the top of the page", is it correct? What is different between "at the top of " and " on the top of"

[@Oxfordonlineenglish1]

Hi there. It's more common to say 'at the top of the page,' although you can also say 'on the top.' However, when we say 'on top of the page,' 'on top of the piece of paper,' etc. that means that something is physically on top of the page, such as a book. This is why it may be more common to hear native speakers say 'at the top' when explaining what is written. Hope this helps you!

[@abhishekkattimani1302]

Sir, sometimes we say 'in the end'. What about that??

[@shalmar578]

I've understood some uses of those prepositions, but i still don't know the difference between "in social media" and "on social media" and the difference between "on the subject" and "in the subject" I've seen people say each of them. I think they both are possible. But how do I know when to use them ? Thanks !

[@Oxfordonlineenglish1]

Hi there. Good questions. It mostly depends on the context of the sentence. For example: 'Today we're going to talk about what is popular in social media news,' or, 'Many people participate in social media groups.' We use on in these situations: 'Children spend a lot of time on social media.' As for 'the subject,' we have to think about the context of the sentence as well. Some example sentences: 'Can I have more information on this subject,' or, 'She excelled in the subject of English in high school.' Hope this helps you!

[@sulemanakmal3569]

What is the difference between *In the end* and *at the end*? please help me out.

[@Oxfordonlineenglish1]

Hi Suleman. 'In the end' is another way of saying 'finally'. It means you are giving a conclusion after a long, possibly uncertain or confusing story or series of events. For example: 'In the end, the girl was reunited with her dog after 10 long days apart.' 'At the end' is a bit more literal. It represents a single event at the point where something stops or happens. For example: 'I will submit my report at the end of the workday.' Hope this helps you!

Hi Nilda. What is your context for using a phrase like 'on entering the door'? Do you have a full sentence or idea we can review?
