Both are correct depending on the context in which the sentences are used. "In bed" means you're sleeping. Eg.. by 10pm, I was already in bed >> sleeping On bed means you're simply lying or sitting on the bed eg "I was lying on the bed" but not sleeping. Eg. "I was on the bed watching TV when he came. 1 Like |

Polynek: 'Among' can be used when comparing 3 or more objects. The right word should have been 'between'. 1 Like 1 Share |
