Grammar
in a garden vs. on a pitch
0 Why do we use 'on' for a pitch and 'in' for a garden? I am confused about how to use 'in/on' for a small area/place like field, pitch, garden, field etc. Could anyone help me? 0-

0 Generally, if it is enclosed by some semblance of vertical boundary, use 'in' (a garden is often surrounded by a hedge or fence); if it is essentially open and flat (like a pitch or soccer field), use 'on'. 0-
