Prepositions before cardinal points.
Good morning everyone!
I am having serious doubts about the use of prepositions before the cardinal points.
- "X" is located ON the south coast of the island of Menorca.
- "X" is located ON the western part of the island.
- "X" is located TO the west of the island
In these cases, is it correct to use the preposition "ON"? Or should it be "IN" or "TO"?
- "X" and "Y" are two of the most bucolic enclaves (IN/ON) the southern coast of the island.
- They are the most beautiful landscape ensembles (IN/ON) the south-west of the island.
- It is the most-visited beach (IN/ON) the island of Menorca
When talking about superlatives forms, should I use the preposition "ON" as well ? Or is it better with "IN"?
Thank you so much!!
