is it right to say:
"The book is in the desk"
Yes.
Hello Mike
If we say "The book is in the desk," does it mean that the book is in the drawer of the desk?
It's wrong if the book is in the desk; it's right if the book is on the desk.NOT A TEACHER.
I am a little bit confused about Mike's answer. Mike, if I say "The book is on the desk", is it wrong?
Perhaps this might be another difference between AmE and BrE.![]()
