Regarding IN or ON when referring to transport vehicles, I usually explain that in is for small vehicles in which you cannot walk to get to the seat.On the other hand, the preposition on is used for those larger vehicles, in which we walk on the floor to reach the seat. On the plane, in the helicopter, in the car, in the taxi, on the ship, on the bus. We also need to get on the horse and motorcycle in order to get around. 🙃🇬🇧🇧🇷

Hi Emma! My name is Éder Paschoal Pinto, I was born in São Paulo, Brazil. I discovered your course today, however I must confess that you have already won me over, definitely. I have some experiences with the English language. The first was in England, through an exchange. The second in the United States, through a doctoral research I carried out with the support of the George Washington University. The third in Australia, where I undertook a postdoctoral internship. Your voice and pronunciation are clear. Your body expression is explanatory, sweet. The pace of your explanation is fabulous. Anyway, you have the gift of communication, of teaching. Congratulations and thank you very much for transmitting your valuable knowledge.

Masterful! Beautifully done, crystal clear examples. No wonder ESL folks have trouble with in/on/at!

[@nicolesmeets8436]

It’s absolutely beautiful and enjoyable the way you teach! It’s very easy to follow and it’s fun to imitate you. You have such a friendly clear and inviting voice that it’s almost like a little magic. I am very sensitive to sounds. When they are uplifting and learn easily. I wish I had you as a teacher when I was young. I would have learned so easily and fluently. The joyful presence of your heart and understanding the language spoken is so much easier than just learning simple words. Through you using complete sentences and very simple examples it’s easy to imagine and repeat at the same time so it’s easy to speak ~ almost like a child! I learned five languages in my life at school. But really speaking I started when I moved to the US. Then my brain was in trouble because it was translating all the time. I tried think you are doing a gorgeous job and if there’s more to come I’m so appreciative. It would be a lovely idea to also continue with different body parts financial areas social areas how to use the words in common phrases. It’s really helpful for me when you explain and just express every day situation. Because I realized with all the learning I had at school the simple fluent talking about daily life is what really was missing in all these years. Thank you so much for all your help God bless you you are precious and keep doing what you’re doing thank you auf Wiedersehen and Aloha

[@diegoroman6450]

After all these years I clarified many doubts about the use of prepositions. excellent examples

[@DesertlizzyThe]

Enjoy your presentations. Your very nice to look at and listen to (British accent not too heavy). Examples are simple. Whether some one is new to speaking English or grew up in America and U.K. -- this can be helpful to clear up badly used words. On or In or at... which & when to use? Prepositions have always been a problem when writing. This lesson is a very good explanation of when to use for describing places.

Thank you for your very clear explanations and your smiling face. I speak four foreign languages fluently and need to use them almost daily. I feel that English was the easiest language to learn.
