Discussion Groups / ESL Teaching / August 2005in the face or on the face
On CNN web site, it said The pilot has turned blue (in the face). I thought it should be "on the face", or it does not matter, both are correct. > On CNN web site, it said > The pilot has turned blue (in the face). > > I thought it should be "on the face", > or it does not matter, both are correct. No, only "in the face" is correct in this context. It's an idiomatic phrase. Regards, Einde O'Callaghan |
