1. በምን ዓይነት ቅድመ-ዝግጅት ላይ ነው?
The preposition “on” can be poured into the type of “single preposition” in parts of speech in the English language.
2. ቅድመ ሁኔታን የት መጠቀም ይቻላል?
The use of the preposition revolves around mainly two types of aspects, and they are as follows:
- We can use the preposition “on” where we need to identify any day and date.
- We can use the preposition “on” where we need to stand out in any particular position, but we must remember that the position must be on the surface.
Example – On the 5th of December, I will meet with some of my childhood friends.
Explanation – Here, we have used the preposition “on” to mark the day on which the speaker is going to meet with friends, and the date is December 5.
3. ቅድመ ሁኔታን የት ላይ መጠቀም አይቻልም?
We must not use the preposition “on” in a situation where we need to show the position of any noun or noun equivalent inside of another object, as the preposition “on” can only be used to refer to position on the surface.
Example 1 – You must not keep the flowers on the table; rather, you should put them on a vase. (Wrong)
Example 2 – You must not keep the flowers on the table; rather, you should put them in a vase. (Right)
Explanation – In both examples, we have used the same words, but the use of the preposition “on” is correct in the second sentence but not in the same sentence. Here, we get to know that we cannot use the preposition “on” where we are putting any product inside of another product instead of just keeping them on the surface.
4. ቅድመ ዝግጅትን መቼ መጠቀም ይቻላል?
We can use the preposition “on” to link any noun or noun equivalent with another situation, position, or feature when we need to show any time, date, surface area, fixed position, etc.
Example – I am on level seven of the video game that my father gifted me.
Explanation – With the help of the preposition “on,” the speaker virtually shows herself or himself on the surface of a specific step of a game.
5. ቅድመ-ዝግጅትን መቼ ላይ አለመጠቀም?
We must not use the preposition “on” at the end of a sentence. We must also keep in mind that we cannot use the preposition “on” if there is no object, time, or date following the preposition “on.”
Example – My mother always kept her kitchen utensils on the dining table instead of keeping them in the basin.
Explanation – In this case, we can see two different types of placement of the same object. We have used the preposition “on” when we need to show the surface position of the utensils on the table, but we have used “in” when we need to show the situation is inside another vacuum.
6. በ ላይ ቅድመ ሁኔታን እንዴት መጠቀም እንደሚቻል?
We must place the preposition “on” just in front of the specific date, time, or situation to recognise the time or date or to mark the position of the noun or noun equivalent.
Example – You must come on time to present your project, or the supervisor is going to reject it.
Explanation – We must note the position of the preposition, as it is just in front of the term “time” to showcase a specific time zone.
7. በቅድመ-ዝግጅት ላይ ለምን መጠቀም ይቻላል?
We must use the preposition on in front of the actual position of any noun or noun equivalent as the preposition ‘on’ helps us to understand that the position of the noun or noun equivalent is on the surface or upper position of the object instead of at the central, middle, etc. of any object.
1 – I have kept the bowl under the dining table to keep it safe from insects.
2 – I have kept the bowl on the dining table to keep it safe from insects.
Explanation – We must note the use of two different prepositions in two sentences, though all other words are the same in both examples. In the first example, the preposition “under” is showing the different position of the bowl, whereas the preposition “on” shows a completely different position.
መደምደሚያ
We can conclude our learning with a basic difference between “on” and the most similar preposition “onto.” The term “on” has a fixed position or situation and does not have any movement, but the term “onto” has the concept of moving direction in its own preposition “to.”
