Chandu’s latest novel is based on Gandhi’s life. |
ON Indicating PLACE/POSITION/LOCATION
Everybody laughed when Ranbir fell on the floor. The umbrella is lying on the table. The address was written on a piece of red-coloured paper. There are absolutely no fruits on this tree. Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall. Siddhant told me that he lives on the fourth floor of this building. My grandparents live on a poultry farm. Jack saw some pirates hiding on the ship. |
[Remember: Use ‘on’ with the name of a place when you think of it as a surface.] |
ON Indicating MANNER
They went to the temple on foot. |
ON Indicating a SPECIFIC VEHICLE
The police were searching for an escaped convict on the bus. I was sitting on a bicycle, while she was sitting in a car. |
[Remember: Use ‘on’ when you mean a specific/particular bicycle, bus, train, ship or plane.] |
ON Indicating TV and RADIO
I saw Naina on the television last night. The fishermen had heard the warning about the storm on the radio. |
ON Indicating TIME
I forgot to thank Deepa at the party on Friday. I found this magic wand beside the lake of truth on a Wednesday evening. I had great fun on my birthday. We will be in Goa on the first day of the coming New Year. I will miss the flag hoisting ceremony on the Republic Day. |
