Is 'stand firm on your decision' equal to 'stand on your ground'?
Thanks
  

Top answer

Not exactly 'stand firm on your decision' = you will not change your decision. 'stand on your ground' = you will not move your position/viewpoint.

I must admit that I didn't spot it at first.

"Stand your ground" is what I would say, although I have seen 'stand on your ground'. I would always use the former as Nona said.

Could use to?

- John stood firm __ his identity as an Irish.

Based on 'hold firm to', I think there's justification for 'to'. Do you agree?
