Prepositions
A grammar rule that feels universal usually has an exception. Each question below is a real disagreement about "Prepositions" — see if you can spot it.
Priya says "We have a test in Monday", reasoning that since we say "in the morning", "in" must always be used for time. Her brother says "on" is used for days. Who is right?
A fish is inside a bowl. Kabir says "The fish is on the bowl", thinking "on" will work for any location word. His mother says "in" is used here. Who is right?
A pizza must be shared between three friends. Neha says "Divide the pizza between the three friends", thinking "between" works for any number of people. Her brother says three or more takes "among". Who is right?
Aarav writes "We arrived at Delhi yesterday", and then uses the same "at" for the station too: "We arrived at the station". His sister says one of these needed a different word. Is his sister right?
