Homework

Good morning [이름]! Oh... I missed you in today\'s class. How are you? I hope you\'re doing fine. And congratulations! At least you have tried your best to answer your homework. You got two mistakes but it was not bad! I will explain to you. You have an incorrect answer in the first item. The answer should be \"on\". \"On\" is often used in place phrases. In general, on means \"on the top of\" or \"on the surface of\" the place. For streets, \"on\" refers to a location that is alongside the street. The answer in number two should be \"in\". The preposition \"in\" means \"inside\" or \"within\" a place. The place can be a small, specific one or a general geographic area. In is also used when referring to a city or a country, or the world.

I hope these information will help you spot the differences of the prepositions (Jeonchisa in Korean) on and in. Have a nice time!^^
