Hello.
I have a question. Yesterday I made a quiz for my English students.
In the quiz, I wrote the following sentence:
"She grew up on a ranch."
When I was grading the quiz, I found a comment made by one of my students, which said: "it is IN, instead of ON" (She grew up IN a ranch).
I've been searching, and I can't seem to find an answer for this. I googled it, and in most cases, they use ON a ranch for that kind of sentence, but for some other cases, they use IN. So I don't know the difference between them.
I hope you can answer me, so I can give a good explanation to my student when she asks me why is it ON, not IN.
Thanks!
