How to figure out what is correct: in the background or on the background.

In the world we all have three important questions we wanna get answers on:

1️⃣ How to find happines?
2️⃣ Who gonna win in a fight, Mark Zuckerberg or Elon Musk?
3️⃣💬👀 And how to figure out what is correct: in the background or on the background.

Today i gonna give u all the answer on the last one💶💶💶

So, how do we know when to use in and on?

In and on are prepositions that are used to describe location, among other things. There are simple rules that will help you choose between in and on for location, although naturally there are exceptions to the rules. For example the phrase “riding on the bus” But before we consider the exceptions, let’s go over the rules….

🚩🚩 Use in when something is located inside of a defined space. It could be a flat space, like a yard, or a three-dimensional space, like a box, house, or car. The space does not need to be closed on all sides (“There is water IN the glass”).

🚩🚩 Use on when something is touching the surface of something. It could be a horizontal surface, like a floor or beach, or a vertical surface, like a wall (“They hung pictures ON the wall”). We also use “on” for the surfaces of body parts (“He has a tattoo ON his arm”).

So, the answer gonna be 🔠 in the background🔠

Ex.

➖Check out those buildings in the background ( is located inside of a defined space)
➖Heavy footsteps were heard in the background (a three-dimensional space/sound in space)

I DIDNT FORGET ABOUT EXCEPTIONS💡

Although we use in with cars, use on for larger vehicles, like planes, trains, and buses (“They have wifi ON the plane”).
To talk about something that is part of a written document, use in, regardless of the format of the document (“The quote appeared IN a blog post”).
With websites, use on.🤷🏻‍♂️📌🙄

My congrats. Now we only have two questions!
