Correct? by DopeAngel(m): 9:57am On Jan 10, 2015
hey everyone i was chatting with a friend on facebook this morning and she sent a text that ''she was still on bed''. I want to know if that is correct or it is the other way round ''still in bed'' . Need answer please
Re: Correct? by braine(m): 9:59am On Jan 10, 2015
"Still in bed" is absolutely correct.

When one goes on a bed, one goes 'in'. Same goes for being 'in' a tree and sitting 'in' a chair.

D person funny o... Still on bed ko... Still underneath the bed ni..
Or maybe she meant still on bed rest
Re: Correct? by alabiyemmy(m): 10:03am On Jan 10, 2015
both of you are wrong. The correct saying is - I am still under the bed.

Re: Correct? by KingEtuas: 11:41am On Jan 10, 2015
Its still on bed. In is used when you are in the cover of something. Eg, am IN the house. Am IN the car. While ON is used when you are on top of something. Eg, am ON the roof. Am ON the chair or table.

lord have mercy.
Re: Correct? by Rapture4real(m): 4:29pm On Dec 28, 2015
Both are grammatically correct but semantically different. Still on bed means you are lying on your bed as at that material time.Still in bed means you are in your bedroom relaxing which may be sitting on a chair or whatever posture inside the bedroom
