| Re: "in" or "on" Hello Shon, welcome to UE! In these examples, "in" suggests "in the field of", whereas "on" suggests "on the subject of". So you might say that "in" suggests a "from the inside" approach, while "on" suggests a "from the outside" approach. I would probably use "on" for the first two; for 3, you also have the option "research into", which might be best. All the best, MrP |
