Gary is relaxing on the sofa.

Gary is relaxing in an arm chair.

Sensei: So, is it possible to say "Gary is relaxing IN the sofa"?

Chris: Not really. I mean as you explained, you know, the shape of sofa is too large. So we don't get the image of the a container if you like. So "in " sounds rather weird.

Sensei: So how about "ON an armchair"? Does it sound weird?

Chris: Absolutely for similar reason. Here the armchair has the arms, right? So you feel like you are surrounded. You can sense the container image. Therefore "IN an armchair" is perfect. "ON", when would you use "on", do you think, Roza?

Roza: You could use it when you say "put a blanket on the armchair". So you are just putting the blanket on top of it. It's no going inside and being surrounded by the armchair. It's just on top of the surface of the armchair.

Chris: So, you could actually use "on" if you are sitting right on the edge of the arm chair or ...

Roza: Or the actual ...

Chris: Arms.

Roza: Arms. That's right.

Chris: That's right.

Mom is sleeping in her bed.

Sensei: So I think "Mom is sleeping on her bed" is also possible, don't you think?

Chris: Yeah, that's right.

Roza: Well, if you say "Mom is sleeping on her bed.", it means she is just on top of it. So maybe she fell asleep but didn't mean to. And she doesn't have the covers on her. So she is just sleeping on top of the bed.

Chris: So, you have to forget about translating from Japanese and just grasp the image. That would That's what we'll help you speak more naturally.

Roza: Yeah, and it'd to help you do that, I suggest maybe even doing your own drawing of these situations. That would will really help you grasp the image.
