Grammar
there or on there or in there
Hi,
When you are using the word 'there', I think it can be used in substitution of the phrases like 'on there' or 'in there' in limited situations but I am not sure which one sometimes. Do you have a tip?
On the table:
There is an apple on there??
There is an apple there??
I think normally an argument can be made that the propostions like 'on' or 'in' is used when a specific reference to a location is made but I think in some situations, 'there', 'on there', or 'in there' can all replace each other without getting bad raps?? from others.

Yes, "on there" is weird, but what about "in there" and "up there" and so on..?
- in there: when something is "IN" or inside something else, for example if somebody's in a room, he's "in there", not only "there", although they both are ok
- up there: when something is "UP" or above something else, for example you can find the scissors "up there"
