Adapted from a passage:
Louis Black was born on the farm. The quiet young man spent most of his life helping his parents on the farm. When he was nine, he started to draw the animals in the farm.
What I know about this is:
He is on the farm. (not in the farm)
I asked some Americans before, they say there's no in the farm but on the farm. That means on the farm is right and in the farm isn't. When I read the passage, I was confused with in and on.
Q1: Which is right when we have to use in or on the farm?
Q2: Or they make different meanings in the pasage? I mean they have different explanations by using in the farm or on the farm? |
