On the chair or in the chair?

In: Uncategorized [Edit categories]

Answer:

A chair is not like a bowl or bucket, that you sit IN. wheras it is an item that you sit ON. Therefore, technically you sit ON a chair and not IN it. But, that it a commonly used term and I would not consider it wrong to say, for example: "sit down in your chair!"
