Quote mesmark  'on' the street - generally has the meaning of positioned along the street or a line.
"His house is right on the main drag."
"There are many parks on that street."
'in' the street - means within the boundries of the curbs
"Don't play in the street."
"I saw two men fighting in the street." | Good explanation. I sometimes find it difficult to explain the difference. I will definitely use your explanation for "in" in the future. Thanks! |
