How to use: in vs. on

On = being in contact with the surface

of something
In = being surrounded by something

If location is specific use on
If location is non specific use in

    How to copy the text in the screen? Does this make sense? :)

    @54321 long press over the text and then press copy when the options come up.

    @54321 🤦🏽‍♀️😂😂 it should be "how do I copy the text on the screen" you specified where the text was so you would us "on"

    I'm in bed or I'm on bed. in theses sentences which is the right way to say it ?

    @cesar 🤔 tough. So both work. If you say you are in bed, it is a general statement that you are lying down probably to go to sleep. If you say I am on the bed you are just giving your current location with no implications on what you are doing. 😬 does that make sense?
