Dear teachers:

A is on/over/above/under/underneath/beneath/below B.

In which:
on/beneath-A is in contact with B.
above/under/below-A is not in contact with B.
over/underneath-A might be in contact or not in contact with B.

The above is just my conjecture. Is that right?

Thanks.

None of them actually define contact, specifically.
You have to get that from the context.
