Hi fraserpan, I think in some instances, the two words can be used interchangeably. In other cases, not. 1) In your room is your favorite toy.

Hi fraserpan,

I think in some instances, the two words can be used interchangeably. In other cases, not.

2) Within your room is your favorite toy. Okay.

3) You have to look deep within (not in) yourself to discover your true motivation.

4) They lived within (not in) their means.
