My grammar books says over/under is used even in case of two things adjacent or attached to each other, while above/below is in case of two thing always with space inbetween. Is it true?
ex)She wore a coat over the sweater(attached to each other)
Wear a sweater under the jacket(attached to each other)
VS
The water came above our knees.(space between knee and water)
Skirts must be below the knee. (space between knee and skirt)
