falcon01:You see English eeeh We no dey follow the same part. Is not straight forward. This is how they said that " give her her book" is correct but to say, "give him him book" is incorrect English! NAH. I no like am. There is no short cut to it. When u think u 've figured it out, that's where it's ambiguity starts. Unlike mathematics or any science related subject, u can even invent ur own trick/formula and arrive at the answer. |

abbeyty:for modes of transport, the use of "in" comes in play if it don't allow for easy movement. So using "on a car" would be inappropriate. "On" is used when the mode of transport allows for easy movements such as train, airplane, ship, etc. |

ProsperChild:well gramatically both are correct. but while the first is "first person singular" the second is the "second person plural. do not also forget that "the" is definite article. now it depends on the conversation or question you are responding to. eg 1) where are you? i'm on the bus (ie; towards the location of the questioneer) 2) (on phone) i can't hear you well, i'm in a bus 3 (panel beater) i'm on the bus (as in working right on top of the bus. your statement appears to be an incomplete sentence. alternatively you can go with i'm on the/my way |

Re: “I Am In The Bus” Or “I Am On The Bus”: Which Is Correct? by zuto4u(m): 8:56am On Apr 08, 2019 |
The correct one is " I am on a bus" this is so because the bus is a public transport that carries a lot of people to their respective destinations. U can only use "in the bus" if the bus is your personal vehicle. And u can say "on the bus" when the public bus is specific and " on a bus" when the public bus is not specific. |
