Hi teachers,

Do you say the stem of the flower is think at the top and thin on the bottom or 'on the top' and 'at the bottom'?

Thanks

HI Canadian 45,

Could you tell me 'for a 3D flower' you would say at the top and at the bottom, is that correct?

But for a '2D flower drawing' you would say on the top and on the bottom, is that correct?

Thanks

No, I don't think "2D" or "3D" makes any difference. It doesn't change the stem.

Hi teachers,

I understand there's a difference between:

at the top; at the top of something; on top of something;

1. How about the usage of 'bottom'?

on the bottom; at the bottom or at bottom ?

2. Is there 'at top' usage?
3. Is there 'at front' usage, as in "It's at front"

Thanks
