- Dear Teachers,

1. Has she ever been on an airplane?
- This means "Has she ever sat on an airplane or traveled by airplane?", right?

2. Has she ever flown in an airplane?
- This means "Has she ever conducted or controlled an airplane?", right?

Thanks so much,

Stevenukd

1. You are right, but in general, no one asks if someone has just sat on an airplane.

2. No. "Has she ever flown in an airplane?" means "Has she ever traveled by airplane?" Has she ever flown an airplane? means "Has she ever piloted an airplane?"
