"He wants the cheque on/in his hand"

Thanks for answering. Do we say "on the palm"?

You wouldn't say "he wants the check in his palm." You would say "he wants the check in his hand." Is that what you were trying to ask?

Actually I wanted to know the correct preposition that we use before 'palm' not just in this sentence but in general terms.

You're not thinking this through correctly. What you're looking for doesn't exist.

He's holding some almonds in his palm.
He has a bandage on his palm.
He bought some lotion for his palm.

Thanks a lot for clearing my doubt C.J. Your reply was very helpful. So is this correct, "The umpire flipped the coin which fell back again in his palm"?

Yes. As shown.

1. You don't need 'again', but if you want it, put it at the end.
2. You can also use 'into his palm' if you want.

Could you please tell me why you have put 'again' at the end and not after 'back'? I often hear people using the phrase 'back again'.
I also heard someone say, 'I don't have any free time on my hand', is this also wrong?

Thanks.

fatimah0786please tell me why you have put 'again' at the end

It sounds better to my ear that way. It puts 'back in my hand' together, which sounds like it goes together better than 'again in my hand'. It's a personal preference.

Thanks for replying.

So 'back again' isn't ungrammatical?
