Question

Could anyone please explain the difference between the usage of 'in' and 'within' ?​

Answer 1

1. 'In' and 'within' are both prepositions that refer to spatial or a logical relationship between two or more subjects in a sentence. 2. 'In' is specifically defined as being inside while 'within' implies being inside of a given set of parameters relative to the object it's linking to and not actually inside of it.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Although sometimes things depend on sentences, the word "within" has a second and different meaning, i.e. not further off than or rather within a boundary. While in means "inside something".

E.g. :-

Within:-

Ram lives within five miles of my house - √

Ram lives in five miles of my house - ×

in:-

The cat is in the room. - √

The cat is within the room. - ×

You can say, the cat is within the four walls of room, which means same "not further off than".

Any doubt? comment me.
