 Re: Difference between "in which" and "on which"
One could perhaps identify an event as being IN a timespan because the event exists within the history of the timespan - ie. the event is IN a SET of circumstances. One certainly can't put something ON a year....what is there to stop it falling OFF?
A more 'correct' word to insert in the sentence would be during, because the plagues were neither an event nor an object that could be placed IN a container or a SET, but were actually an ongoing time-span feature observed during (ie. for some duration of) the year. |
