prepositions

Should I use in or on? Or are both okay?

B: I’ll be here for six weeks and I’m already on my second week.

Best Answer

The choice of preposition is likely to depend on the expression or the context.

For example, one is generally:

in one's first year at university
in one's second month of training
in one's first week at college
in time to write the exam

but

in / on time for the appointment
on a week's holiday
on a year's sabbatical
on a few days' leave

There is no fixed rule regarding in or on. At times either may be acceptable; at others the expression, context or idiom dictates the choice.

In answer to your question, you are more likely to be on a course in your second week
