 Re: on a list vs. in a list
Not sure but I think.
“On the list” emphasises on the material(which has surface) which the list is added
“In the list” emphasises on the contents , reason for listing,
Ex:
I couldn’t see my name on the list which was on the notice board.
I couldn’t see my name in the list of the most successful students
Not sure, this was just my observation
I am neither a native, nor a teacher, please correct me if I am wrong. |
