I want to see which one is right, in english lessons or on english lessons.
I think I can use preposition in here, but someone esle thinks I should use on. I disagree with her.
Would you please give the answer?
Thanks a lot.

eg. He is active in english lessons.
Is this sentence right?

It depends on the context:
- I am the master in English lessons.
- I spent money on English lessons.

Thanks a lot.
Please use quotes around quoted material. Your first sentence is barely understandable.
Also, you need to provide the some context. Do you have a sentence?
The following are correct in the right place: during, in, on, of, about, notwithstanding, with ... English lessons.
The preposition you use depends on what you are trying to say.
